Child care subsidies

UTS child-care centres charge a fee, comparable to other child-care centres. In 2003 the fees were between $48–59 per day for 0–5 year olds and $26 a day for 5–12 year olds. All families who register with Centrelink can access Federal Government means-tested child-care subsidies of up to $29 per day through child-care centres. There may be a slight increase in fees for 2004.

Further subsidies are available at UTS child-care centres to all current UTS staff and students of up to $9.45 per day, funded by the University and the University Union and available on proof of employment/enrolment at UTS.

Low-income students may apply to the Equity & Diversity Unit for further assistance (funded by the Unit and the Students' Association) in cases of demonstrable financial hardship.
