Fees
Fees are due and payable every two weeks via direct debit. On the Monday of the 2-week period you’ll be emailed a statement for the current week and the following week. Your fees will remain the same unless you change your child's bookings, or your child care subsidy percentage changes. It is your responsibility to ensure you have the correct funds in your account on the direct debit day. Statements are emailed to you on a Monday. If something does not look right on your statement, please call or email us ASAP so we can assist you and avoid any declines. There is an additional fee if you decline.
- Fees MUST be paid up to date.
- If fees fall into arrears, your child’s place at the centre will be jeopardized and may be offered to someone on the waiting list.
