If your child has a medical condition, you will need to provide medication(s) along with the relevant completed action plan before your child can attend. Medication must be in the original packaging, clearly labelled with the child’s name.

The packaging must also clearly state the dosage and be within the expiry date. Additionally, you must complete a medication consent form filled out at your centre.

Please note that without clearly labelled medication and consent form, children will be unable to attend the holiday program. Please allow time to process this when enrolling and booking.

The government offers financial assistance to families who require child care known as the Child Care Subsidy (CCS).

Three things will determine a family’s level of CCS available:

1. Combined family income
2.   Activity level of parents
3.   Type of child care service

Some basic requirements must be satisfied for an individual to be eligible to receive CCS for a child. These include:

• the age of the child (must be 13 years or under and not attending secondary school)
• the child meeting immunisation requirements
• the individual, or their partner, meeting residency requirements.

You can estimate what your subsidy might be by using the online estimator.

Important to Note

All families are encouraged to set up a MyGov account as this is an avenue used to confirm all bookings/enrolments into the OSHC service. Once your enrolment has been processed by our staff you will be asked to log into your MyGov account (Centrelink section) to confirm your CCS enrolment with Big Childcare. If you are entitled, CCS is paid directly to services – in your case Big Childcare.

For more information on CCS  please visit Service Australia's website or call them on 13 61 50

If you have not used Big Childcare for 14 weeks, you must confirm Big Childcare as your service provider again on your MyGov account.
