​At Little Gems our fees vary depending on which centre you are inquiring about. Please send us an email and someone would love to answer your questions. 

​

Fees are payable fortnightly or monthly in advance on the morning of your child’s first day of attendance. Parents are entitled to receive government assistance in the form of Child Care Subsidy (CCS) subject to an income means test. This is done through application to the FAO at Centrelink. Educators will be advised of your fortnightly fees or any changes. Educators will give you this information and issue receipts as fees are paid each fortnight.

When enrolling your child a payment of 4 weeks must be made:

- 2 weeks holding fee deposit which is refunded when 2 weeks’ notice of withdrawal has been given to the centre;
- 2 weeks fees in advance subject to CCS percentage.

​

We do accept children who are not vaccinated however there are strict protocols when an outbreak happens which parents will be made clear of when enrolling. 

When vacating your child’s position from the centre, your child must attend in the last two weeks of notice or the government will not pay for the booked in days. Please ask staff for a termination of position form, as written notice is required.​​
