Step 3

Families receive an Enrolment link and a copy of our Parent Handbook via email. All forms are required to be completed and submitted within 48 hours upon receipt of email.

*Assistance for enrolment is offered to all families and is available for the entire process should a family not have access to a computer or internet at home.

Step 4

Orientation and transition visits are scheduled to settle both the child and family into the Centre. 

Step 5

Scheduled Direct Debit payments commence.

Step 6

Enrolled child attends their first official day!

Families and children are welcomed into the Centre through our transition process. This allows for any questions to be answered and to get to know the Centre and staff before children attend their first day. 

The transition process is important as it allows us to welcome you into our centre in a relaxed manner. It also allows families to share their expectations of the centre, and information about their child.

Child Care Subsidy

Families can access childcare financial support through Child Care Subsidy (CCS) to reduce the cost of childcare, with the service supported by funding through the Australian Government.

To get Child Care Subsidy (CCS) you must:

  • care for a child 13 or younger who’s not attending secondary school, unless an exemption applies
  • use an approved child care service
  • be responsible for paying the child care fees
  • meet residence and immunisation requirements.

Immunisations

The Ewin ELC believes that children and adults should be immunised as recommended by the Australian Department of Health. Immunisation is one of the safest and most effective measures for the prevention of diseases, which can cause disability and sometimes death.

Families will need to provide evidence of their child’s immunisation schedule on enrolment, and will be expected to update their child’s online enrolment as immunisations are updated.

Families who choose not to immunise their children will be respected and treated equally.

For more information regarding the current National Immunisation Program please visit the Department of Health website.

As of January 2019, important changes were made to the regulations regarding requirements and collection of Immunisation records for children. To find out more visit Government of WA Department of Health
