Centre Fees

Regular Hours

Regular Hourly Fee is $6.50.

For families not eligible for WINZ subsidies, Footprints uses its equity funding to provide partial and full subsidies for care as below.

Children 3, 4 and 5 years old: 30 hours free

• 20 hours free (govt subsidy),
• 10 more hours free (equity subsidy)

All children and all families are eligible for the above subsidies for up to a maximum of 6 hours per day. After that the regular rate of $6.50 per hour applies.

Casual Hours

If your child requires one-off extra hours or a one-off extra day, the casual rate of $6.50 per hour applies.

Extra days or hours need to be in consultation with the centre manager and will be granted if space is available.

WINZ Subsidies

If you think you may qualify for a WINZ subsidy and have a child enrolling with us, we would appreciate you applying. Centre managers can provide forms and are able to help you fill them in if needed.

Important to Note

• We do not charge for public holidays.
• Charges do still apply if your child is absent.
• We charge regular hourly fees if you drop your child off outside of their booked times, e.g., you are too early or are late picking up your child. If this happens regularly, you may be required to change your booking permanently or be charged additional early/late fees.

Holidays

Every child may take a total of 3 weeks of holiday per year at discounted fees. If you tell us with at least 2 weeks' notice that you are going on holiday, we can apply a 50% discount to your regular fees for the duration of your holiday.

If your child is to be away for longer than 3 weeks in a row, please speak to the centre manager about how this affects fees.
