Due to regional NSW going into a forced lockdown on Saturday, 14 August until Sunday, 22 August 2021, Council has waived the gap between fees charged by its Centre and the Child Care Subsidy (CCS) received for children attending Gwydir Day Care and Preschool, during this time only.
“With the gap, waived families will not have to pay any out-of-pocket costs for those days that their children are at home, during the current stay at home period,” General Manager, Lester Rodgers said.
“This is another measure that will make life easier for many families in our shire during these challenging times.”
Should the NSW lockdown extend past 22 August, Council would look to review this kind gesture on a week-to-week basis.
Education and care services are considered essential services and may remain open unless directed by NSW Health.
“Importantly, this means Gwydir Day Care and Preschool can continue operating so that families who are unable to keep their children at home during this time continue to have care options.”
Stay at home rules are in place to help stop the spread of COVID-19. NSW Health urges people to continue to present for testing with even the mildest of cold-like symptoms and be sure to complete the QR CODE Check-in.
