What does the Australian Government give me for the cost of my childcare? To help you with the cost of your child care, the Australian Government provides the following assistance:

The Child Care Benefit Child Care Benefit reduces the cost of your total child care fees. It is available to you if you are a parent, foster parent or grandparent with a child in your care who is attending a child care service approved by, or registered with, the Government.There are certain eligibility requirements you must meet to get Child Care Benefit.

Who is eligible to claim Child Care Benefit?

All families with Australian residency using approved child care with up-to-date immunisation records are eligible for CCB dependent of their income status. The percentage discount obtainable is determined by a means test administered by the FAO. If you have not already undertaken this test, it is advised you contact Family Payments immediately on 136 150 as no discounted rate can be offered until the test is completed.

Once the means test is administered the FAO then issues the family with Customer reference Numbers (CRN’s) which need to be supplied to our office. Until Council has received this information you will be required to pay the full fee.

Child Care Tax Rebate The Child Care Tax Rebate is additional assistance to you if you are using an approved child care for work, study or training related reasons. The Child Tax Rebate covers 50 per cent of your out-of-pocket costs for approved child care up to $7500 (indexed) per child per calendar year.

You will need to register the Vacation Care Service(s) you intend to utilise.

Mosman (Kidzone) Vacation Care Provider Number 555010863C

During the day, groups may go on mini excursions in the local area.

Children are transported by chartered bus or on the Council's community bus to excursions out of the area.

6. Dropping off/Picking up Children must be accompanied by an adult to be signed ON to the roll in the morning and

signed OFF the roll when collected. Staff are instructed to ensure that this occurs.

A written permission note with the parent's signature is required if a child (over 10 years) is to leave the Centre by him/herself, or to be collected by someone else other than the parent. Children will not be released into the care of anyone other than the parent without this written authorisation. Children will not be released into the care of a minor.

7. Illness/Accident/Medication If a child is unwell or involved in an accident and unable to join in activities during the day, parents will be contacted to collect him/her.

In the event of a serious accident, children will be taken to the nearest medical assistance and parents will be notified as soon as possible.

8. What to bring/wear Food and drink for morning, afternoon tea and lunch to be brought each day. Children cannot leave the group to buy lunches.

Raincoats are essential every day, regardless of weather, as children are out and about and on excursions.

Children must wear covered shoes - sneakers, boots and sports shoes are ideal. Certainly no thongs, preferably no sandals.

Sun hat and protective cream are essential every day. While we try to keep the children out of the sun during the hottest part of the day, it is not always possible. It is the parent's responsibility to ensure that their child has adequate sun protection.

We have regular 'slip, slop, slap' times in the day.

Kindergarten children are advised to bring a change of clothes.

Children are not to bring chewing gum or lollies. Skateboards, roller blades and heelies are not permitted unless programmed.

Toys and devices such as iPods and NintendoDS brought by children are their own responsibility and are only to be used during designated play time.
