Overdue Accounts
We understand that some families may experience genuine financial hardship and have difficulty in meeting their obligations to pay fees. However, as a non-for-profit organisation we have our financial obligations to meet in order to pay staff and suppliers. If you do have any issues please don’t hesitate to talk to our admin or management staff.
If at any stage you have financial hardship and cannot pay your account, then you will have to apply in writing to the service explaining why account cannot be paid. Senior Co-ordinator and Management will work out a payment plan with you and a payment plan agreement will be written up and signed by Senior Co-ordinator, Management committee and parent/guardian. If payment plan is not adhered to then this could result in cancellation of their childs booking. A payment plan agreement can only be offered once per year.
Search Fee
When a child fails to turn up to a meeting point, it is the responsibility of the educators and staff to locate the child. This may mean that educators have to search the school grounds, speak with school staff and contact parents to reassure the child’s safety. A $5.00 Search Fee will be added to the parents account in this situation. It is the responsibility of parents/guardians to inform the service if their child is absent.
Vacation Care Accounts
Vacation Care Accounts are to be paid prior to attending Vacation Care each week. All families are to book their children in when Vacation Care program comes out (approx 3 weeks prior) to vacation care period. Families sign off that they have read and understood our terms and conditions over the Vacation Care period.
Fees MUST be paid, for all days booked, one week in advance and are due on the Friday before attendance each week. If your account is not paid by due date then FUNdurba Kids Club will cancel your childs Vacation Care bookings.
Any incursions or excursion costs will be added to Vacation care accounts.
Casual Vacation Care Bookings: A Casual Vacation Care booking is made after the cut off date and is only accepted if there is availability within the child’s group. (This is to fit in with the required staff child ratios and can only be approved by administrator or management) Any casual booking must be paid in advance prior to attendance, or on the day. Casual attendance cannot be confirmed until payment is received prior to care being provided.
Cancellation of your child’s bookings
Upon enrolment all families agree to the terms and conditions of the service’s policies and procedures on fee payments and are made fully aware of this. As a result, if there is a failure to meet these requirements, this will result in a review of your child’s booking. A “Customer Contact Log” is kept and written up by the Administrator or Assistant Co-ordinator and followed through by Senior Co-ordinator.
***note*** Your first account at the start of each Term will incorporate a two week payment to ensure fees remain 1 week in advance at all times. Fees may be paid by cash, cheque, credit card, EPTOS or Direct Deposit. Cheques are to be made payable to “Fundurba Kids Club P & C Association”. A dishonoured cheque will incur a fee of $10.00.

This is a friendly reminder of the importance of avoiding sending your child to Fundurba during Vacation Care with any products that contain nuts.
We do have several children in the service who have Anaphylaxis, who can have severe reactions both through consumption and touch.
Anaphylaxis is a SEVERE Allergic reaction to Nut products which if an attack occurs may result in one of our staff having to administer the child’s Epi-Pen and needing to be sent to hospital.We do understand that some children may be a little fussy in the range of food that they eat, but we do request that some form of alternative try to be found as the outcome of a possible severe reaction is the last thing we would like to see happen at Fundurba.
