Frequently Asked Questions By Parents

Public holidays are charged at the normal daily fee. Families will be eligible for the Child Care Subsidy (CCS) for public holidays if they have not exceeded allowable yearly absences.

The reason why most childcare centres in Australia do this is because childcare centre employees are permanent and running costs are annualised (such as rent).

Centres rely on ongoing, daily fees in order to keep up with these costs, hence why they are unable to offer public holidays free of charge to parents.
