Booking Fee
There is a bond of $20 per child or one week's fees which ever is the greater. This is refundable at completion of attendance at the Centre.

Daily Fees
The Centre will provide the Federal Government's "Childcare Benefit" subsidy for which many parents will be eligible. The fees payable will then depend on the Childcare Benefit subsidy, the number of days booked, and the group in which a child is enrolled. Applications for Childcare Benefit should be made with the Family Assistance Office on 136 150. If you have not already been assessed, we would strongly recommend that you contact the Family Assistance Office as soon as possible if you are likely to require child care in the near future.

What to Bring
Children will require 2 pieces of fruit (used for morning and afternoon tea), lunch and a change of clothes, a set of sheets (cot size), a hat, and under 2½ years, disposable nappies, trainer pants etc as required. Full details about the Centre are contained in our Centre Handbook which is provided upon enrolment.
