Associated Fees
What We Provide
Childcare Fees
Our current daily fee is $162.00 and includes all food and drinks, activities and incursions. Parents and carers are required to supply their own nappies and formula (where used) for their children.
Your family may also be eligible for fee assistance through the Australian Government's Child Care Subsidy. For more information on this please contact Centrelink.
Community Contribution Levy
As a community not-for-profit centre, Perry St values and relies on our family’s participation and involvement.
Families are asked to contribute 5 units of voluntary contribution per year to offset (not pay) a Levy fee. These voluntary contribution units can be achieved in various ways. Such as:
-
Committee of management – Executive committee members, general members
-
Sub-committees – fundraising, sustainability, grants, kitchen, Darebin council liaison, projects
-
Fundraiser events – sausage sizzles, cake stalls, trivia nights, silent auctions
-
Working bee – gardening, landscaping, cleaning
-
Repairing/creating – equipment, toys, resources as needed
​
Each family is responsible for keeping track of their contribution units, then asked to return a signed contribution list to the office at the end of November.
If you choose not to contribute via participation for the year, you will be charged a $450 Community Contribution Levy Fee.
