Additional Child Care Subsidy (Temporary Financial Hardship) 

If you are experiencing financial hardship due to the impacts of COVID-19 you may be eligible for the Additional Child Care Subsidy (Temporary Financial Hardship), which can assist with the cost of childcare. For more information, including how to apply, please see https://www.servicesaustralia.gov.au/individuals/services/centrelink/additional-child-care-subsidy.

Mental Health Support 

The Coronavirus pandemic may result in additional stress and feelings of unease amongst both children and adults. We recommend this PDF for talking to your children about Coronavirus. Our educators will also continue to support children with any stress they may be experiencing at this point in time. Beyond Blue also has some useful information to support mental wellbeing during the Coronavirus pandemic. 

 

Information and advice on the Coronavirus is available from the Australian Department of Health, ACT Health, and NSW Health.  

​

What will happen if there is a confirmed case of coronavirus at Kids Biz?

If there is a confirmed case of coronavirus at one of our services we will work closely with the public health authorities to identify and notify any close contacts and ensure the service is thouroughly cleaned before reopening. Families will be advised if the service is required to close.
