Our Fees

Our fee structure is simple and easy to navigate.
We offer full care and education for $166.00 per day, as of 10 July 2023.

We offer daily childcare, summer term and short-term care. We request that enrolments be for a minimum of 2 days per week. Contact us for more information.

Want Flexible Days?

We offer flexibility to support all parents!

At Unicare, you can customise your childcare by selecting alternate days within a fortnight.

This supports children going to school for the first time, and parents with unique working days, including FIFO.

Childcare subsidies can be hard to navigate.
We’re here to help.

We work through your individual enrolment so that you get the help we can provide or the support of the agencies were are experienced at using.

Handy Tips & Resources

For Australian Government Child Care Subsidy

  1. Arrange for a CRN (Customer reference number) for you and for your child.

  2. Make sure you’re signed up to the Australian Government’s MyGov App. (Trust us – it saves time later).

  3. Apply for Child Care Subsidy. It is better if this is done at least 8 weeks before your start date – if possible.

Don’t quite know if you are eligible? That is ok.

Every family is different . Talk to us, and we will work through it with you or refer you to the correct agency.

FAQs

  • Yes! We have many families from the local community. Many of our children have since graduated on to enrol in local primary schools.

  • Of course. We can tailor a tour to the times you need. We also welcome family members who are important to you to come along and share the experience. Ask about our Saturday tours too! (Our Centre really is beautiful!)

  • Booking early is important, but many of our families are surprised that we can accommodate them. That is because we have a large staff and lots of rooms here and so can not only accommodate families but can give you the assurance of a start date.

  • We do not offer casual childcare. However, we can provide short-term care at a minimum of 2 days per week. Speak to us for more information.
