Thank you for your interest in Jabiru!

Submitting an application does not guarantee your child a placement. Completing the first page of this application (i.e., hitting "Hold My Spot!" below) reserves your child's place in the application queue, which will determine the order in which applications are considered. This will allow you time to complete the rest of the application in a considered way, knowing that your spot is held.

You must hit "SUBMIT" at the end of the application for your child to be considered for Jabiru. The entire application must be complete and submitted or you will lose the place you reserved by completing this first page.

To submit the entire application you will need to attach some required documentation. For a list of all documentation you will need, refer to our website: https://www.sensorygym.com.au/participant-application.html

You will not hear a response from our team about the status of your application until after the 15th of November.
