When Fees are Charged and Due
Extension of Fee Payments
● Fees are billed for all weeks the preschool is open ● Families are billed one term in advance ● Fees are payable to the Preschool for all enroled children including sick days and family holidays. If a child does not attend the Service as a precautionary measure, payment of fees is still required. ● Fees incurred for casual days for existing students will be charged as a once-off payment. ● Families should notify the Preschool via phone or email to advise of their child’s inability to attend as soon as this is known. Full fees are payable on days the child would normally attend.
PLC Sydney has partnered with Edstart to provide additional payment options for school fees. Edstart is a specialist education payments provider specifically designed to manage all education-related expenses in one place. You may package any education-related expenses including tuition fees, uniforms, textbooks and extra-curricular activities, which can then be paid for up to five years after a child has completed her studies. You can choose weekly, fortnightly or monthly repayments on any date in line with your income. Business owners can also choose payment structures in line with your seasonal cash flow. This is an optional service subject to approval and fees which will be made clear throughout the process. Applications can be made at https://edstart.com.au/plcsydney.
Equity Access Fees Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander children ● Services must record Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander status on the child’s enrolment form. Children from low-income backgrounds ● Children from a family holding a Health Care Card or Pensioner Concession Card issued by the Australian government (where the child is a named dependent on the card). ● Health Care Cards issued in the child's name only are not means-tested. Therefore children with their own Health Care Card will not be eligible. This includes Foster Care Health Care Cards and Health Care Cards for children with disability. ● Services must keep a copy of Health Care or Pensioner Concession Cards to show proof that they were valid at the time of the preschool census or for a prior period during that school year. Children with disability and additional needs ● One of the following must be provided as evidence of the child’s disability or additional needs: ○ the child’s NDIS reference number or a copy of the most recent and relevant report, ○ assessment letter that outlines the child’s disability or additional needs from a relevant professional. Documentation must be on letterhead and signed by the relevant professional.
