Sick days, public holidays and unplanned closure fee policies
|
There's no one-fee-fits-all approach in Australian child care.
Instead, your individual service has its own policies and procedures which will determine how much your family pays for a session.
The specific service you choose, government assistance you're eligible for, and hours your child attends will all influence the fees you're charged, but what happens if your child doesn't actually go to child care on their usual day?
Unexpected sick days, planned public holidays and sudden closures can all affect your child's attendance.
Here's what they might mean for your family budget.
