Camp Australia bills in arrears. Your upcoming charges may not reflect your CCS if this has not been processed by Centrelink.
We recommend reviewing your statements each fortnight when you receive them to ensure your CCS has been applied.
It means there can be a range of charges outside of the booking fees.
These may include:
Overdue fees
Annual enrolment fees
Failed payment fees
Late booking fee (if you book within 48 hours of the session)
Late pick-up fees, etc.
You can access your statement and individual charges on the ‘Billing’ area of the Parent Portal
Each family will have a different out-of-pocket cost based on their CCS percentage and eligibility.
Camp Australia are not able to confirm your out-of-pocket cost until we’re able to apply your CCS percentage to your statement.
Each Camp Australia service is reviewed on its own merits. Each service location offers fees that reflect the differing services they provide.
Some of the things that will impact the fees in each location are:
Hours of operation
Range of programs being delivered
Average attendance numbers
Staffing requirements
Camp Australia relies on booking numbers to ensure our staff can meet ratio requirements for each service.
For any booking that’s made outside of a recurring schedule, or any one-off booking, is classified as a casual booking.
You’ll be charged a casual booking if you;
Book within the required recurring booking notice period, or
Have not met booking requirements for a recurring schedule
