Our fee structure is as follows:
Standard Daily Fee - $143/day
Discounted Fee (Enrolled full time - 5 days/week) - $133/day
Childcare Subsidy (CCS) is then applied and you will only be responsible for paying the gap fee on your child/ren's booked days. Please ensure you have already registered your child with Centrelink before enrolment. Upon enrolment we will also need the CRN numbers for yourself and your child so we can register attendance and ensure that you are receiving the maximum entitlement.
Our accounts are charged weekly/fortnightly via Direct Debit for the current week of fees, not two weeks in advance like some other services. What this means is we require two weeks’ notice of any changes to bookings i.e. dropping days, ending enrolment, casual days, holiday dates etc. If two weeks’ notice is not given you will be charged an extra two weeks of fees after your child’s last day.

Childcare Subsidy (CCS)
"The Australian Government is committed to ensuring that Australian families are able to access affordable, flexible and high quality child care. The Government provides a number of subsidies and programs to help with the cost of child care, with the Child Care Subsidy being the main type of assistance that most families will use. To be eligible for the Child Care Subsidy the following requirements must be met:
- the child must be a ‘Family Tax Benefit child’ or ‘regular care child’
- the child must be 13 or under and not attending secondary school
- the child must meet immunisation requirements
- the person claiming the Child Care Subsidy, or their partner, must meet residency requirements and be liable to pay for care provided under a Complying Written Arrangement (their written agreement) with their child care provider
- child care must be provided by an approved provider in Australia and not be part of a compulsory education program, for example school.
There are exemptions for individuals who genuinely cannot meet some eligibility requirements.
How much can a family receive? The level of subsidy a family receives will depend on three factors: Income – a family’s (both partners) combined income
Activity test – what activities the individual and their partner undertake or exemptions that might apply and
Service type – the type of approved child care service used, for example Centre Based Day Care
