Frequently Asked Questions

Monday to Friday:   8.30am – 4.00pm

Each educator operates as an independent contractor and sets their own fees and charges. You can discuss the cost of care directly with the educator. All fees are paid by direct debit each week.

When your educator is unavailable and care is still required, please contact our office to enquire about availability of an alternate educator.  Where there is availability, one of our coordinators will organise for another educator to provide alternate care for your child.

An educator may provide care for a maximum of four (4) children under school age, including their own children. In addition to the four (4) children, educators may provide care for three (3) children of school age (including their own children under the age of 13).

The Child Care Subsidy is the main way the Government will assist families with their child care fees. The amount of subsidy you receive will be determined by the activity test and your annual family income.

To estimate the amount of support you may receive under the CCS system, visit the Payment and Service Finder page on the Centrelink website.  This can help you to find, estimate and compare payments and services that you may be eligible for. Please note that this calculator will suggest all potential payments for you to explore further, based on the information you provide, not just CCS.
