Allowable Absences

Allowable Absences

The Family Assistance office will pay Childcare Benefit even if your child is absent from the centre due to annual or sick leave for a total of 42 days in a financial year. After this full childcare fees are payable by the family. If your child is absent due to sickness and a medical certificate is obtained and supplied to the centre this day will not accumulate to the 42 day limit.
