Fees and enrolment for 2027
Enrolments for 2027 are open now. Because Susan’s is a small group, it’s worth getting in touch early if you know you’ll need care next year, and it’s completely fine if you’re still only thinking about it.
How much family day care costs at Susan’s
Miss Susan’s fee is $141.30 a day, with a minimum booking of nine hours a day and two days a week. That includes:
- Morning tea
- Afternoon tea
- Bed sheets for rest time
- Weekly cooking
- Gardening
- Themed birthday parties
Birthdays get the works, with themed decorations, party food, a small gift and party bags. Families just pack a lunch each day.
Child Care Subsidy
The Child Care Subsidy, or CCS, is help from the Australian Government with the cost of care. It’s available at Susan’s for eligible families, and it’s paid straight to the service and taken off your fees, so you pay the difference.
How much you get depends on your family’s situation, including your income. You can check and apply through your myGov account, and Services Australia has all the details.
The care Miss Susan offers
Susan’s looks after babies right up to 11 year olds, in a small group that never has more than four little ones under school age. Places for babies are limited, so it’s worth asking early.
