The rest of the day is filled with programmed activities run by our Educators. The children have free choice to participate or to make thier own fun.
Vacation Care Base Rate

Plus any additional costs for the day, such as excursion entry, transport or a special guest visit. The cost for each day is listed on the vacation care program.

Absences
You must notify us before 3:25pm if your child won't be attending their afternoon session. We are required to locate any child who does not arrive for a scheduled session.
A non-notification fee of 50% of the afternoon session cost is charged per child on top of the session fee for any child whose absence was not notified to the service.
Late pick-ups
Children must be collected by the centre's advertised closing time.
For children collected after the advertised closing time the charge is $10.00 for every 10 minutes or part thereof.
The Child Protection Act states that, if a child is not picked up 30 minutes after closing time, a BOOSH educator must take the child to the nearest Police Station.
Three late pick-ups in a calendar year may lead to your child's exclusion from BOOSH.
Cancelling or changing bookings
If families wish to cancel their child's enrolment at The BOOSH Centre or permanently remove a session of care that their child is booked for, they are required to provide TWO (2) WEEKS' notice in writing in order to have fees waived.
All absences are charged.
Casual sessions and vacation care days are booked in the Xplor app. Once booked they can't be cancelled, and the day's fee (plus any excursion or incursion costs) is charged whether or not your child attends.
How payments work
Fees are paid by direct debit from your bank account, through Debitsuccess. We no longer accept credit or debit cards.
Debits are taken every second Friday and cover the next two weeks of fees in advance, plus any casual sessions already attended. Each debit has a transaction fee of $1.07.
If a debit fails, Debitsuccess charges $19.95 which is paid directly to them (not to BOOSH). The amount outstanding will be added to your next scheduled debit.
You can update your payment details at any time through the Xplor app.
Overdue fees
Having trouble paying? Talk to us before fees are overdue and we will create a payment arrangement.
If no arrangement is in place
Unpaid debts may be referred to a debt collector, with all recovery costs charged to the family.
