Fees and Payment
Fees are $127 per day per child, which is inclusive of the Kindergarten Program, sunscreen, nappies and wipes. An admin fee of $50.00 is payable when your booking is confirmed. All booked days are paid for even when a child is absent due to illness or holidays.
Payment is made weekly through EziDebit, with fees being estimated 2 weeks in advance. Ezidebit is a direct debiting system that can be debited from a nominated bank account or credit card.
Childcare Subsidy
To help with the cost of childcare the Australian government also provides assistance through Childcare Subsidy (CCS). Childcare Subsidy has replaced childcare benefit and childcare rebate, and is paid directly to the service. There are two factors that will determine the amount of CCS you are entitled to:
- Your family’s annual adjusted taxable income which will determine the percentage of subsidy they are eligible for
- An activity test which will determine how many hours of subsidised care families can access, up to a maximum of 100 per fortnight.
