Bankwest kids saver so far has the best interest rate I could find for kidssavings.
Non-taxable as long as it does not earn more than $416p.a.

Catch:
Every year, the entire savings will be transferred to Children’s Savings Account with lower interest rate.
What I suggest is to transfer the savings to another savings account (preferably online savings account as it has higher interest rate). I would suggest to look at Ubank for its high interest rate and flexibility to move in/out the money freely. USaver + Ultra has 4.17% interest rate as of this writing.

Another option is to automate/schedule transferring at least $50 every month from children savings to Kids Saver account for the entire 12 months.
If you find better interest rates, let me know :-)
