Competitive Fees
AWELC aim to keep our fees as affordable and market competitive as possible. Fees are reviewed by the Committee of Management in accordance with Award wage increases and other sector costs associated with providing high quality early years education and care. Families are given a minimum of 14 days notice before any fee increase takes effect.
Prior to commencing at the service please contact Centrelink to determine whether your family is eligible to receive the Childcare Subsidy (CCS) as these entitlements may reduce your child’s fees. For more information please visit the MyGov website run by the Australian Government. They have a range of fact sheets with information on childcare as well as all available fee assistance that you may be eligible for.
You can access further information on the MyGov Website
