2.(e) How often do I get billed?
You should receive a statement once a fortnight, from our administration office, Becklyn. Your statement details your usage at the centre from the past two weeks, and your total amount owing – which will include any missed payments from before the current period .
2.(f) Why have I been charged a non-notification fee?
The Non-notification fee is in place to ensure families notify the centre of their child’s non-attendance. When a child is on a centre roll, it is the responsibility of the Nominated Supervisor or Responsible Person on Duty to ascertain the whereabouts of the child. This can involve many steps, from doing a physical search for the child, contacting the school office to find out if the child attended school that day, contacting parents and authorised nominees, through to contacting the police if a child is not located, and reporting them as missing. Further explanation of the non-notification fee can be sort in our policy and procedure document on our website https://www.eppingnorthoshc.com.au/centre-policies/ or the Family handbook https://www.eppingnorthoshc.com.au/enrolments/
