I have read the Parent Handbook/Enrolment Form and agree to abide by the Program’s Policies as outlined in the booklet including late collection and collection of children whilst under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
I am aware that my child’s permanent booking fee will be charged for any day that he/she is absent.
I agree to advise Milestones After School in writing a future absence or a change of days for my child/ren. I will give at least one week (7 days) notice to make permanent changes to my bookings.
I am aware that if my child leaves the service I am required to pay full fees for any days that my child does not attend the service leading up to the date of discontinuation of care (2 weeks notice period applies). I understand the CCS Guidelines around this policy (see Parent Handbook). MAS will also charge during public holidays when they fall within our operational period as per industry standard (excluding Christmas Closure).
I am aware that throughout the calander year, my child can take up to 10 days off in total during the four NSW School Terms and have the daily charged waived given a written 7 day notice period. The 10 day allowance can be used for any reason but not limited to family holidays, medical appointments, sick days, school events etc). Daily charges apply for booking cancellation thereafter. MAS does not have a mandatory attendance during vacation care, this is our opt in service and you will not be charged during this period unless bookings are secured for your child/ren.
I will contact MAS at the earliest convenience when I know my child is going to be absent from the program. I am aware that I cannot make a casual booking more than two weeks in advance.
I agree to exclude my child from the program when they are unwell, especially if the illness is contagious. I will provide a clearance certificate from a Doctor if required for infectious illnesses.
I am aware that my child may be excluded from the program if they are not immunised and there is an outbreak of an infectious disease and I understand that my fees will still be charged during this time.
I understand that if I make a casual booking, I am unable to cancel that booking and therefore if my child is absent, I will be required to pay an absent casual fee.
I understand that if I am late to pick up my child from the after school care/vacation care program that I will be charged a late fee.
I am aware that if my child exceeds 42 days absence in a financial year that Child Care Subsidy will no longer be applied to my child’s absence/s for the remainder of the financial year.
I give permission for the program supervisor and program educator/s to seek emergency medical, hospital or ambulance services/ transport and that I the child Guardian will be contacted and agree to pay all costs involved. In respect to Regulation 160 (VI) of the Education & Care Services National Regulation, I authorise Milestones After School and any of its employees to transport my child, or arrange transport of my child, for any reasonable reason.
It is the parent/guardian’s responsibility to check Customer Account Statement (CAS) regularly and see if CCS is being deducted weekly. Parent/guardians have 28 days after the date of the booking to claim the CCS through Centrelink if they haven’t received it from the service.
Under CCS rules, if your child/ren are away as absent on the first or last day of enrolment, they would not receive the CCS payment, and thus pay full fee.
I agree to sign my child in every session they attend (Before School Care, After School Care & Vacation Care). I agree to sign my child in and out using the iCheckin system (Digital signin/signout technology)
I agree to submit my Centrelink Child Care Subsidy letter to MAS upon enrolment and any new letters that have updated and adjusted your entitlement from Centrelink
