Occasional Care 2026

Occasional care is occasional sessional care for babies, toddlers and children under preschool age who do not attend another early childhood service.

The aim of the program is to:

• Provide families with access to sessional occasional childcare, supporting children not already accessing other early childhood education and care programs, including preschool, long day care or family day care.
• Enable parents to participate in a range of activities including non-work and casual work commitments.
• Promote young children’s development and learning by increasing access to a high-quality early childhood education and care program.

Note: A parent can book in occasionally or have a regular booking which will depend on numbers enrolled. It is not guaranteed a child can be enrolled every week or on the same day each week. Occasional Care is max of one session per week depending on availability.
