Emmaus Catholic School Terms & Conditions
Child Care Subsidy
The Child Care Subsidy (CCS) is available from Centrelink. Centrelink will assess parents’ eligibility criteria which will be used to determine the amount of assistance each family will receive. If you meet eligible requirements, the CCS is paid to Emmaus OSHC where it is automatically deducted from your fees.
Further information in relation to the Child Care Subsidy can be found at https://www.humanservices.gov.au/individuals/services/centrelink/child-care-subsidy .
Cancellations
Permanent bookings may be cancelled with two weeks’ notice. Casual bookings may be cancelled on the day up until 12pm. Late notice will incur full session fees - due to staffing, cancellations must be in writing via email, information@emmaus.catholic.edu.au or oshc@emmaus.catholic.edu .
Bookings
Children may be booked in on a casual or permanent basis (cost difference applies see ‘fees’). All bookings must be in writing, email or hard copy booking sheet in the front office or the OSHC office. Casual bookings can be made on the day up until 3.05pm by emailing the school on information@emmaus.catholic.edu.au.
Service Closing Times and Late Fees
The Service closes at 6.30pm. In accordance with national regulations and licensing, we are not permitted to have children in the service after 6.30pm. A late fee is incurred for children collected after 6.30pm.
The late fee is $15 per child for every 15 minutes or part thereof and will be added to your next account. The late fee is strictly adhered to, as a staff member must remain with your child until collection.
If we are unable to contact either the parent or a person nominated by the parent on the enrolment form to arrange collection of the child/children within an hour of the Service closing, we will contact Department of Communities and Social Inclusion and the Police who may take responsibility of your child.
Late or Non-payment of Invoices
If you are unable to make payment in full, you should contact us immediately as we may be able to make alternative payment arrangements for you.
If you are late making payments or payments do not adequately cover the cost of fees, we will suspend a child’s attendance until the account is brought into credit.
Following failed attempts by us to contact you, or if an agreed payment arrangement is not honoured your account will be handed to our collection agency which will actively seek all monies owed. Children will not be permitted to attend any sessions until outstanding fees are paid in full.
If it is necessary to engage a debt collection service, notification will be forwarded to Mercantile Collection Services. You will be responsible for the payment of any additional expense incurred. This will include any costs incurred from Mercantile Collection Services, plus administration costs and or the cost of any legal proceedings. We also advise this may affect your credit rating.
Any queries regarding your account of payment of fees can be made to Vickie Richardson, phone 8322 7211..
