Other fees Search Fee for non-notification $5 per occasion It is very important that the Centre is notified by phone, or email by 3pm if your child is going to be absent. If the Centre is not notified that a child is not attending, we need to find where the child is which takes time and attention away from the other children at the centre.
Late Collection fee $30 for each 15min (or part thereof) you are late. This fee is charged in addition to the daily fees when a child is collected after 6.30pm (6pm during vacation care) and is based on the OOSH clock. This is to cover the cost of Educators staying with your child. Educators are employed until 6.30 pm only. If parents are late, staff will phone the emergency contacts listed on the enrolment form. If no contact has been made from either a parent or an emergency contact listed, and the child is not collected by 7pm then the Nominated supervisor will be contacted, and further action will be taken (this may include contacting the Police). Please phone the Centre if you think you may be late collecting your child.
Payment of Fees Fees for all bookings are paid weekly or fortnightly in arrears by direct debit (bank account or credit card) using Xpay. Fees will be charged for each session of care as they occur. It is a requirement that fees are to be paid for all days the child is booked into the centre, including when a child is absent due to illness, or on holidays. Vacation care fees are paid in full in advance upon booking your child into the Vacation care program each holidays. Information on how to do this is found on the Vacation care forms which are released 4 weeks before each School Holiday period.
Priority of Access The federal government has approved our service to provide up to 105 places for children. Our responsibility is to ensure that places are offered using best practise and as such, your requested days may not be available. As vacancies arise in our service, we consider prioritising children as follows and as legislated to offer care based on the following priorities:
• Priority 1 – a child at risk of serious abuse or neglect
• Priority 2 – a child of a single parent who satisfies, or of parents who both satisfy, the work, training, study test
• Priority 3 – any other child.
Within these main Priority categories, priority must be given to children in:
• Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families
• families which include a disabled person
• families which include an individual whose adjusted taxable income does not exceed the lower income threshold for 2022-2023 or who or whose partner is on income support
• families from a non-English speaking background
• socially isolated families.
• Children of single parents.
A service may require a Priority 3 child to vacate a place to make room for a child in a higher priority group. They can only do so if the parents are:
• Notified when their child first enters care that the service follows this policy
• Given at least 14 days’ notice of their need to vacate
This reflects the Australian Government's intention to help families who are most in need and support the safety and wellbeing of children at risk.
