You may also be eligible for the Australian Government’s Child Care Subsidy or Additional Childcare.

Fees are set by the Parap Family Centre Management Committee and charged to all families whose children are booked to attend the Centre.

Normal daily fees are payable for public holidays.

Fees are payable on a child’s booked day regardless of whether the child is sick or absent.

A late fee of $2 per minute is charged for children who have remained in the building from 6.01pm.

Membership fees are $11 per financial year

Payment Options

Payment options available include direct debit from a credit card or personal account through the Childcare Easy Pay System. All new enrolling families are required to utilise the Childcare Debit Success system and provide their bank information at the time of enrolment

Payments through Debit Success are processed by PFC fortnightly on a Monday, or next workday, and accounts are kept a minimum of two (2) weeks in advance. It is noted that while PFC processes on a Monday the day that a transaction is debited from individual accounts will vary dependent on the financial institution of individual families.

The two weeks in advance payment will be debited with the first lot of fees that are processed after enrolment less the deposit of a week’s care that is payable upon acceptance of a place in the centre.
