Fees and Subsidies

Childcare rates:

Childcare rates are negotiated directly with the educator. The childcare rates vary depending on the experience and qualifications of the educator and your requirements.

Normal childcare rates:

In the educators’ home: $5 – $10 per hour, per child, our home educators are self-employed, therefore they are free to set their own rates

In the child’s home: $15.75 – $25 per hour

Subsidies:

Work and Income (WINZ) Childcare Subsidy:

Work and Income also offer an income tested childcare subsidy for a maximum of 50 hours a week. Low income parents who are not working may still be entitled to a 9 hour childcare subsidy. All WINZ payments depend on the family income and other factors that need to be discussed with WINZ directly.
