Infant care fees

This is my first pregnancy and still not sure if ill be sending my baby to infant care after Maternity leave ends or not. 1. Usually whats the price range for infant care fees per month? Any deposit ? Any subsidy if both parents working ? 2. if we apply, will we confirm get it or depends on the slot and availability ? 3. Is it mandatory to send our baby everyday or we can choose if we want to send everyday or some days we can skip ? (In the event one of parents on leave)

1) Depends on centre but usually so far I see tt the full amount is above 1k for infantcare. The infantcare where my son goes to charge abt 1.3k. Yes subsidy for working mother. I got the basic $600 subsidy, u can get additional subsidy if your household income is below 12k. Once child goes childcare, subsidy reduces to $300 but the whole fees also reduced. 2) Depends on the centre too. Best to apply as early as possible. 3) You don't need to send every day but needs to at least attend infantcare one day in a calendar month to get the subsidy for that month. But usually, parents will send every day unless baby is sick.
