Enrolment fee $30.00 per child – This fee covers establishment of each child, investigation and communications required with families on Childcare Benefit related issues.
Bond fee $50.00 per child ($100.00 per family cap applies) – This fee is held until we are advised that a child will no longer be attending this service. It may be utilised to offset any outstanding childcare account fees and will be refunded to a nominated bank account once all outstanding childcare account fees are paid in full
NOTE: Child Care Benefit (*CCB) is made available through the Family Assistance Office (FAO). All families are eligible for a minimum 16.76% with many families entitled to a higher percentage of up to 110%. This percentage can be worked out on daily scheduled fees to reduce the amount per day you pay. Most families are also entitled to an additional 50% rebate on the reduced fee payable. To reduce the initial out of pocket cost, it is recommended that families elect their rebate be paid 'direct to service' - this election can be made by calling Centrelink.
To confirm your CCB entitlement and/or change your CCR election please call Centrelink on 136 150
