Who can use our Family Day Care Services?Our Family Day Care Services is available to parents who live, work or study in Australia and who need reliable, accredited, quality education and care for their children. The Australian Government funds FDC services to provide care mostly for children who have not commenced school. Parents do not have to be Australian residents to use a service. Child Care Subsidy (CCS), however, are only paid for children whose parents meet Australian residency requirements.
Our Family Day Care Services can provide flexible care, including all-day care, part-time, evening, overnight, casual, before and after school care, and care during school holidays. Our Service is well placed to provide individualised care for children with additional needs and care for children whose parents work outside of the normal hours that child care is provided. Sometimes families may require short-term 24-hour due to work related demands or other special circumstances, and our Family Day Care Services may be able to assist with that. | How do children benefit from our Educators?Children benefit from Family Day Care through:

Cost of CareMost of our Educators are under our Service fee. But within our family day care service some educators choose to setup their own fee but slightly different than ours. It is important that families understand that each Educator may have a range of fees and charges depending on the service provided. The Educator will be able to tell you the total cost of the care, but is not able to provide you with an estimate of actual cost of care reduced by your Child Care Subsidy entitlement prior to commencement as she/he will not have verification of your eligible Child Care Subsidy percentage. Please call your local Centrelink to know more about you eligibility. | Service Main FeeService Rates

Partnerships are based on the foundations of understanding each other’s expectations and attitudes, and build on the strength of each others’ knowledge.
