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 required 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.
