Anaphylaxis: Provide an ASCIA Action Plan from your doctor before the first day.
Asthma: Submit a current Asthma Plan signed by your doctor with a recent photo.

Child Care Subsidy (CCS)
We’re an authorised childcare provider. To apply for CCS, please provide your and your child’s CRNs (Customer Reference Numbers) to the Centre.
To receive CCS for all booked days, your child must attend both their first and last day of care. If they don’t attend on either of those days, Centrelink may not pay CCS for any of the days they were absent — even if they were booked in. This means full fees could apply for those days. For more information about this please have a look at this link: https://www.servicesaustralia.gov.au/child-care-subsidy-if-your-child-absent-from-child-care?context=41186#a4
