Family Day Care fees

All educators are self-employed and fees vary.

On average, educators charge $130 per day per child. Currently FDC levies $1.65 per hour per contract of care for each family from 10 July.

There’s no waitlist fee but $60 is charged for administration on enrolment.

Eligible families can receive Child Care Subsidies.

RedPay provides the payment gateway that facilitates Pay Now, BPay and Direct Debit payments for North Sydney Family Day Care. Please refer to RedPay for current fees and surcharges.

Families are to pay 2 weeks bond (equivalent to 2 weeks' full fees) and 2 weeks' full fees in advance, before starting care. 

A bank dishonour fee will apply in accordance with Council’s current Processing fee.
