📌 Practical checks before you go

• Confirm current arrangements: term dates, holiday-event schedules, capacity and session availability can change.
• Check bookings and intake: some activities need online registration, while therapy, relief and family-support services may use an assessment or appointment process.
• Match the age or stage: review each program’s age, school-year or developmental criteria before enrolling.
• Ask about access needs: contact the provider ahead of time if your child needs physical access arrangements, communication support or activity adjustments.
• Clarify supervision and costs: confirm whether an adult must remain, and ask about current fees, rebates or funding options where these are not stated.
