I have seen and am aware of activities on the Vacation Care Program and the details published on the program for each day.

The Vacation Care program will  be available for booking on “Fully Booked” from week 5 of each term and bookings will close on Friday of week 8 of each term (week 7 of Term 4) to ensure staffing and bus transportation numbers can be finalised. Less than 48 hours’ notice of a cancellation will attract the full fee. Less than 2 weeks notice of a cancellation for each Excursion day will attract a cancellation fee of $20 per day.

New children attending OSHC

Please let your child/children’s teacher know when your child is required to attend OSHC especially new receptions and occasional users. 

Signing in and out

Your child/children must be signed in/out at the beginning/end of the day whenever they attend OSHC or Vacation Care.  This is a legal requirement in order to claim Child Care Subsidy. During Covid 19 pandemic staff will sign in/out all children)

Childcare subsidy (CCS) for reduced fees:

The Australian Government provides Child Care Subsidy to help with the cost of child care. To be eligible for the Child Care Subsidy you need a myGov account linked to Centrelink. You will need to provide information and details through myGov.

The following requirements must be met:

 the child must:

• be a ‘Family Tax Benefit child’ or ‘regular care child’ and
• be 13 or under and not attending secondary school and
• meet immunisation requirements

 the person claiming the child care subsidy, or their partner, must:

• meet residency requirements and
• meet the Child Care Subsidy activity test (or be eligible for an exemption) and
• be liable to pay for care provided under a Complying Written Arrangement (their written agreement) with their child care provider

 It is your responsibility to ensure that your CCS details are up to date and correct.

Late pick up fee

Any child that is picked up after 6.15pm will incur a penalty fee, which is $12 every 15 minutes (i.e. $4.00 every 5 minutes). If you are going to be late picking up your child/children please ring the service as soon as possible. Be aware that after 6.15pm, every attempt will be made to contact you or any other emergency contact to collect the child /children.

Cancellation policy

If your child is not going to use the OSHC or Vacation Care service you must cancel 48 hours before your booked attendance.
