Payments
Fees
Fees are compulsory and necessary to meet services costs to operate. A statement of fees and charges for Long Daycare, Integrated Long Daycare and Sessional Kindergarten will be provided to families on enrolment.

Fees are payable for all days children are enrolled, including days of absence due to illness, family holidays, public holidays or other days off.
Other Charges

- Application Wait List fee: This payment places a child on the wait list at the service.

The deposit is retained as part payment on term fees. Families eligible for the Kindergarten Fee Subsidy (see below) are not required to pay the deposit. Families experiencing hardship should also discuss any difficulties with the service.
- Non-refundable Cooperative Members levy: This levy is retained by the service and is included in the total fees charged by the service.
