There are four childcare centres currently providing long day care (for example, 7.30am to 6pm) on or near the Camperdown/Darlington Campus, and one on the Cumberland Campus. Fees are charged on a daily basis and all children are pre-enrolled for specific days of the week.
All the centres are managed by qualified staff, are subject to quality assurance accreditation as required by the Australian Government, and provide programs that are responsive to the needs of the individual child.
Generally, you need to apply directly to the childcare centre to join their waiting list. Waiting lists can be very long, especially for children younger than two years, so we recommend you apply as early as possible.
If you are an international student, we strongly advise you to send your waiting list application forms before you leave your home country.
Contact the centres directly for more information on their facilities, fees, and application process.
