Optional Charges
1. The optional charge is for:
The Government subsidizes 20 hours ECE for children 3 and over, however this is based on an aggregate subsidy across the country. We request an optional charge per hour to be paid to help meet the costs of providing quality ECE for your child because we provide services over and above the Government stipulated minimum quality regulations over 80% qualified registered teachers and above the stipulated adult/child ratio. The difference between the funding rate and the fees we charge rounded down is a loss of $1.00 per hour, therefore our optional charge is $1.00 per hour.
2. I understand that if I agree to pay for the optional charge, Annabel’s Educare may enforce payment.
3. The agreement to pay the optional charge will be reviewed at the beginning of each calendar year.
4. The rules about making changes to the agreement are:
- The amount requested for an optional charge will be subject to an annual review.
- Requests for changes to this agreement can be made in writing to the Manager or Finance Manager.
5. I understand that the optional charge is not compulsory and if I choose not to pay there will be no penalty.
6. I agree / do not agree (select one) to pay the optional charge for the activities/ items specified in this enrolment agreement form.
