About Family Day Care

Co-ordination Unit is located on Level 1, Wagga Wagga Civic Centre, Cnr Morrow St and Baylis St.
Family Day Care provides quality care for children up to 12 years of age in the homes of Family Day Care Carers. A Family Day Care service provides care through a network of approved Carers, who are organised and supported by a professional coordinating team.

Family Day Care provides a safe, secure and stimulating home environment for your children, with care being provided for small groups of children in the Carer's home. Family Day Care provides the opportunity for you and your children to develop a close relationship with your Carer.

Wagga Wagga City Council is the Licensee of the Service operating under State Government Regulations. The Service is supervised by Early Childhood trained staff in a Co-ordination Unit who supervise, train, support and resource the Home-Based Care Providers. Families may be eligible for Commonwealth Government subsidies including Child Care Assistance and the Child Care Rebate.
