Health Care Card holders must provide a copy of their card (not Medicare card number) and be government verified to be eligible for the government rebate on fees. A maximum refund of $250 per year is available to families who are holders of the Health Care Card. A deduction is included in each term fee request.
Please note that this rebate only applies to the four/five year old group. Individual approaches for fee relief should be made in writing to the Committee of Management. Each case will be considered on its merits and in the strictest confidence.
There is a $120 maintenance levy added to term one fees for each family. Families may either participate in at least two working bees throughout the year and be refunded their $120, or donate their levy towards maintenance costs and not participate in any of the designated working bees. Working bees are usually held on Saturday or Sunday mornings and the Maintenance Co-ordinator notifies rostered volunteers well in advance.
Fees are reviewed regularly by the Committee of Management according to costs, government funding etc.
