Student Services - Enrolment

Application for enrolment can be made at the Centre, at the Child Care office or on-line. An enrolment form, together with our fee policy statement, must be completed and returned to the Director of the centre or the UWA Child Care office. All information provided on the enrolment form will remain strictly confidential. No child is able to attend the service without an enrolment form in accordance with Regulation 47 of the Children and Community Services (Outside School Hours Care) Regulations 2006.

Enrolment forms should be signed by the parent to acknowledge their acceptance of the conditions of the centre. Re-enrolments for after school care, for the following year are opened in December. Enrolments for each vacation care period open ~ 3-4 weeks before the programme commences.

New vacation care families need to fill out both the enrolment form and booking form.

Families that have already enrolled will only need to fill out the current booking form.

All bookings for Vacation Care are final and non-refundable/transferable, once the programme has commenced.

Fees are reviewed annually and parents will be notified in writing of any increase.

Childcare Benefit

Prior to enrolment it is advisable for parents to contact the Family Assistance Office (FAO) to organise an assessment for Childcare Benefit. Phone 136150 or alternatively please view their website. Full fees will be charged for any interim period of care if your application to FAO is delayed or expires.

We suggest that parents list both service reference numbers when applying for Childcare Benefit to ensure use of both services.
