Child Care Benefit (CCB) is available to families who are Australian Residents and is means tested. Child Care Tax Rebate (CCR) is available
to all families who are Australian Residents and meet a minimum work hour requirement. Parents must contact the Family Assistance Office or (ph) 131 272 to register for either or both.
Child Care Benefit and Child Care Tax Rebate can be received as:
A “bond” “security deposit” of $400 is required upon enrolment. This will be credited to your account after the date your child has left the centre and all amounts outstanding have been paid and where applicable the CCB and CCR values have been finalised by the government.
Our terminating policy is that four (4) weeks written notice must be given otherwise the difference up to 4 weeks fees will be accounted to you.
Overdue Fees
Any parent who is in arrears will receive a FRIENDLY FEE REMINDER once a month. Parents can make an appointment to speak with Cheryl or Lauren to reach an agreement regarding payments. Continuing fees in arrears will jeopardise the child’s place in the Centre.
A fee of $20 per month will apply to all overdue fees.
Dishonoured Cheques
Should this unfortunate incidence occur we regret that a charge of $9.00 per cheque will be charged to the families account.
