Childcare Subsidy and Support

The Child Care Subsidy (CCS) is a government payment that helps eligible Australian families cover the cost of approved childcare services. It’s designed to make early education and care more affordable and accessible, supporting families as they work, study, or look for employment.

Safety First

Our first priority is the health and safety of all children, staff and families. With this in mind we have a number of procedures in place at all of our programs including; head counts, walkie talkies, no show fee, mandatory training for all educators and quality care.

We are a proud Child Safe organisation.
