Enrolling at LillyPilly

Our fees are $175 per day across all rooms. Fees are payable two weeks in advance via direct debit from your bank account or credit card. Statement/Invoices are available on the OWNA App.

An enrolment fee of $300 per family is charged upon confirmation of enrolment, which must be paid prior to commencement at the centre. If the family commences in care, $75 of this fee is non-refundable and retained as an enrolment fee, while the remaining $225 is credited to the family’s account. If the family decides not to proceed with the enrolment, the full $300 will be retained.

All meals cooked by on our-site chef including breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea, late snack and a variety of milk options (cows/soy/rice/oat) for bottles. Nappies and wipes, SPF 50+ sunscreen, bedding and access to the OWNA App is also included, as is a special gift for your child on their birthday.

As part of the daily fee, we also provide a complimentary ‘Grab & Go’ breakfast and free barista-style coffee for parents and carers to take with them and enjoy after dropping off their child each morning.

Child Care Subsidy is designed to make access to childcare more accessible to families and help with the cost of childcare. CCS is paid directly to LillyPilly by the Australian Government and is then passed onto families via Centrelink as a fee reduction. Families are required to make a co-contribution to their childcare fees by paying the difference between the LillyPilly fee and the subsidy amount (commonly
known as the gap fee) which contributes towards our staff and running costs.

The amount of CCS you receive will be based on your families’ individual circumstances. It is means tested and based on your combined family income and your fortnightly activity. Families should contact Centrelink directly on 13 61 50 to discuss eligibility requirements and for further information on how to register for Child Care Subsidy.

We are open Monday to Friday 7am to 6pm. We are closed on public holidays.

As our centres operate on a waiting list basis, personalised tours will be available to families after an offer of enrolment is received. These tours are facilitated by our lovely staff, where you will have the opportunity to visit our centre, meet some of our educators, see our play spaces, as well as answer any questions. After your personalised tour, you will have time to make a decision before accepting your enrolment with LillyPilly.
