Term        Membership Fee
Term 1       $35
Term 2      $35
Term 3      $17.50

🎒Vacation Care

To join in the fun during the school holidays, families must have paid their Family Membership Fee.

Our Vacation Care fees are simple:

Flat Rate: $67 per day

• Plus the cost of excursions, food or travel (these are added into the daily fee and shown clearly on the holiday program)

Each day’s total cost is displayed on the Vacation Care program—no surprises!

💳 Debit Success

Like most payment systems, small transaction fees apply:

0.88% – Direct debit from a bank account

1.87% – Visa/Mastercard

4.4% – Amex & Diners Club

🚨 Non-Notification Fee

If your child won’t be attending, please let us know!

A quick phone call or message helps us focus on caring for the children on site.

If we aren’t notified and your child is marked on the roll, staff must begin a search and follow our safety procedures, which may involve contacting families and, if necessary, the police.

A $10.00 non-notification fee applies to all sessions.

Thank you for helping us keep everyone safe!

⏰ Late Collection Fee

If children are picked up after 6:00pm, a late fee applies to cover staffing costs:

$2.00 per minute after 6:00pm

Vacation Care late collection: $5.00 per minute

We appreciate your effort to collect your child on time!

🎉 Child Care Subsidy (CCS)

Great news—many families are eligible for CCS!

To receive your subsidy, simply provide:

• Your Centrelink CRN

• Your child’s Centrelink CRN

• Both dates of birth

We’ll take care of the rest on our end.
