Additional information

Occasional care

Occasional Care is available for children under school age who are not currently enrolled in another early childhood education and care program, such as preschool, childcare or family day care.

This program provides children with opportunities to engage in high-quality early childhood education experiences, supporting their learning, development and social connections in a safe and welcoming environment.

Occasional Care can also support families by providing flexible care while parents or caregivers attend appointments, study, community activities or casual work commitments.

Priority of access

The education department has a priority of access policy to support who can access occasional care sessions.
