3 important checks when thinking childcare enrolment

  1. Save money, before commencing enrolment, make sure that your child’s Child Care Subsidy (CCS) has been approved. Make a claim for the childcare subsidy at least 4 to 8 weeks before your child’s first day of care. Your childcare centre will then apply your CCS subsidy to their daily fee, you will then be asked to pay a lower gap fee.
  2. Your child’s Immunisation Status is up-to-date. If your child has missed immunisations, speak to your Doctor now about a catch-up plan. Children on a catch-up plan can be accepted for enrolment. 
  3. Have your child’s Birth Certificate available. Can’t find the Birth Certificate, most childcare centres will also accept a Passport as proof of your child’s date of birth.
