What about deposits and registration fees?

Question:
What about deposits and registration fees?
Answer:

Yes, providers can charge parents a refundable deposit to secure a child’s funded place.

Providers should consider whether a charge should be applied to a family claiming 2 year funding (Think2), but providers must reimburse a deposit by the end of the same term (or off-set against paid for elements) a child starts a Think2 funded placement.

A provider may choose to keep a deposit if  child did not start the place for the funded hours only. When parents are paying for extra hours or services it is possible a registration fee could be off-set against those paid for elements.

Providers should not make a registration fee mandatory for parent to access funded hours.
