Enrolment Enquiries.
Registration for our Early Years Program (Long Day Care)
To register your child for childcare or integrated kindergarten please see the Children’s Services Wait List (CSWL) here:
Important things to consider when waitlisting for childcare and integrated kindergarten:
- Children can be registered for the waitlist any time after they are born
- We encourage you to book a tour with the services you are interested in before registering on the waitlist, to best determine your preference of services
- An offer of care will only be made when your care requirements match a centre's vacancies
- Accepting less, or other days, will enhance your opportunity of securing enrolment. Once enrolled, you can request to be added to the internal waitlist for places that may become available over time. *Places are prioritised to families currently enrolled in the program.
- To enhance the opportunity of receiving a childcare or integrated kindergarten enrolment:
- - select multiple centres that are most preferred by you (up to a maximum of five)
- - select multiple days of the week if you are flexible with the days your child could attend care
- - be flexible in the number of days you select
Offers Process
Upon being offered enrolment via phone and email, families are required to acknowledge their offer within 48 hours, followed by payment of a non refundable deposit to secure their enrolment. You will be required to commence care on the specific date as outlined in your offer. In the lead up to commencing care, families and their child will be invited to visit the service for two sessions of orientation to ensure a successful transition from home to care. We now use Xplor for all enrolment information. If you do not have an existing Xplor Home account, the service will issue you a login to create your account.

Our waitlists are open in advance therefore we encourage families to place their name on the waitlist where their child is age appropriate to avoid disappointment.
