|---|---|---|
| $625 | Per week for full time care | |

Lunch and afternoon tea is inclusive in the fee. The above fee information does not take into account any entitlements to the new Child Care Subsidy (CCS). This payment can assist families with the cost of child care.
This centre is a not for profit Government subsidised centre. This means that all monies from fees and grants are used to pay staff wages and cover operating costs.
Fees are set by the LDCC Board.

No child care benefit is claimable against a late fee.
