Your child can not commence at our service until you provide us with a fully completed online enrolment form and downloaded the Xplor home app and created a profile and linked with CCS. If you are having issues connecting to CCS you must pay full fees until you are linked.

​

You will need to include:

Child’s CRN, birth certificate, and current Immunisation record. Immunisation must be kept up to date or your child may lose their position at the Centre and will stop receiving CCS from Centrelink.

Parent/Guardian CRN, birth certificate or other proof of date of birth.

These records are retained by the centre. Please nominate which parent/ guardian is registered for CCS

 

Families must complete  the enrolment form as soon as possible before the child commences at the Centre. This allows Educators to collect background information so we can accommodate the child's needs for their first day of enrolment. Parents are asked to communicate how they would like to settle their child into the Centre on their enrolment form.

We will try and accommodate families so that children from the same family can attend our Service. This will be carried out in line with our obligations under the Priority of Access Policy.

We will ensure all details are finalised and complete the Orientation Checklist.
