Government assistance with fees (Child Care Subsidy) is available to most families via application to the Department of Human Services. For families eligible for CCS, the subsidy is paid directly to the Centre and families are charged the gap fee.
For more information visit the Services Australia website or call 13 61 50 to apply for CCS.
The daily fee is reviewed by the Committee of Management as part of the budgeting planning process that takes place periodically throughout the year. Any fee increases as result of this review would be communicated to families with at least 2 weeks notice. Payment plans are available to families if required, please contact the Director to arrange.
Fee Payment:
Fees will be invoiced to parents/guardians directly on a fortnightly basis in arrears, and must be paid via direct debit arrangement.
It is the responsibility of parents to ensure that fees are paid promptly as non-payment seriously impacts on the Centre's cash flow.
From our Fees Policy
Fees are non-refundable (exceptional circumstances may apply – these are at the discretion of the Committee of Management). There will be no refund of fees in the following circumstances:
• a child's short-term illness
• public holidays
• family holiday during operational times
• closure of the service due to extreme and unavoidable circumstances.
In addition, there will be no refund where a family chooses not to send their child to the program for the maximum number of hours for which they are enrolled.
Fees are not charged for the closure of the Centre over the Xmas/New Year period, and for set up/pack up days and professional development days.
