Fee Increases for After School, Before School and Vacation Care
Dear Parents / Caregivers
With the ever-increasing cost of living, we have tried holding off on any rate rises for our services. However, with the latest 5.75% CPI increases to all childcare wages, unfortunately we are unable to delay these increases any longer.
The price increases will be effective from Monday 7 August 2023 and are shown below.
The slightly good news for many families is that most of the increase will be covered by the CCS. Also there are many people that are now receiving a higher CCS percentage that bring the out of pocket costs down. In the chart below we have provided the increase cost per session and the new rate along with an example of the additional out of pocket cost to people who would be on 85% CCS.
| Old Rate | New Rate | Increase Per Session | Increase to the out of pocket cost per session based on 85% CCS | |
| Before School Care | $18.00 | $20.00 | $2.00 | $0.30 |
| After School Care | $30.00 | $32.00 | $2.00 | $0.30 |
| Vacation Care | $65.00 | $68.00 | $3.00 | $0.45 |
Kind Regards
