Occasional care

Occasional care is for children under school age who aren’t in any other early childhood education and care programs, such as preschool, child care or family day care. It promotes young children’s development by giving them access to high-quality early childhood education.

It may help parents to take part in a range of activities including non-work and casual work commitments.

Priority of access

The education department has a priority of access policy to decide who can get into occasional care. This might mean that some families get more sessions than others.

Talk to us about enrolling in occasional care.

Times

Children generally can go to 1 session a week.

Cost

This program costs $5 per session and $2.50 for siblings.

If you have an Australian Government Pensioner Concession or Health Care Card, the cost is $1.50 per session and 75 cents for siblings.

What to bring

Children need to bring these items:

• bag
• spare clothes
• healthy snack in a container for morning session (fresh fruit or vegetables, a serve of dairy, other healthy food)
• healthy lunch in a container for afternoon session
• drink bottle with water only
• broad-brimmed or bucket hat (no adjustable chin cords)
• nappies or pull-ups if required.

Please write your child’s name on all their belongings.

Please apply sunscreen to your child before they arrive.
