Absences

The Child Care Subsidy is paid for a child’s absence from care for up to 42 days per calendar year.

Some absences are exempt from this 42 day limit and are as follows:

• Illness with a medical certificate (any immediate family member)
• School closure
• Court order
• Non immunised
• Public holiday
• Attendance at Pre School
• Work related (employer letter required)
• Period of local emergency

Parents need to complete attendance record and initial after an absence of any sort. All record cards must be filled in correctly.

Cancellation of Placement

When a place at the centre is no longer required, notice in writing is required four weeks prior.

Cancellation of Session

If possible, it is requested that parents notify the centre twenty four hours in advance if a child is not going to attend a booked session. These sessions must be paid for in full.
