Child Care Subsidy questions to ask Canberra centres

Ask for the daily fee, session hours, inclusions, enrolment fees, bond or deposit rules, late fees and public holiday billing policy.

Then ask how the centre expects families to confirm enrolment for Child Care Subsidy purposes and what information appears in the enrolment notice.

Some providers offer session options; others charge one daily fee. Ask whether shorter sessions exist and whether they affect your out-of-pocket estimate.

Ask how absences are billed, how many absences families should understand, and who to contact if subsidy details look wrong after enrolment.
