22.01.2022 Hi Goodstart families! As you know the Government announced today that the free childcare package will expire on 12 July and that the CCS system will return f...rom 13 July, along with new transition measures (up until October) to support the sector and parents as they move back to the subsidy. This announcement is a little bit complex so we are working hard to understand what this means for our families and for Goodstart. We will provide an update to our centres and our families later today and over the coming days as we learn more. #5weekstogo! See more

12.01.2022 With JobKeeper ending on March 28 we know many families will be worried about what this means for their family budget. Did you know the Government provides additional child care subsidies for families experiencing financial hardship? You may be eligible to receive up to 13 weeks of additional subsidy towards your child care fees, for up to 100 hours of care per fortnight. In most cases, these subsidies will cover the full fees charged by your centre. More information in the article below. https://www.goodstart.org.au//march-2021/support-for-end-o

11.01.2022 Goodstart Families! Just wanted to clarify with you that the free childcare package announced by Government today absolutely includes ALL Goodstart centres. I...f your child is enrolled in one of our centres and you are still working, studying or searching for work you will be able to send your child for free from Monday 6 April. We know you probably have lots of questions, and your Centre Director will share more tomorrow once we understand the finer details of how it all works. See more
