Cancellations  

To cancel a booking, open the app, select the day and mark your child as 'Absent'. Please note that if you need to cancel for multiple children, you will need to do this individually for each child. 

Please be aware that any bookings cancelled less than 7 days before the session are within our non-refundable period and will still be charged in full. 

Once you have marked your child/ren as absent in the app, you must also notify us by emailing Vacation.Care@dardanup.wa.gov.au to complete your cancellation. 

Child Care Subsidy 

Families may be eligible to claim the Child Care Subsidy (CSS) to assist with vacation care fees.  

Please complete the claim process prior to your child attending vacation care to ensure you are eligible. To make a claim visit, How to claim Child Care Subsidy - Child Care Subsidy - Services Australia.

Educa App 

Educa is an easy, safe way for our team to share updates concerning your Children’s learning, photos, stories and news. Parents and family members can access that information easily and safely online.  

Once you have enrolled in vacation care, you should receive an email invitation to access your child’s Educa account. Make sure you check your junk folder if you don’t see it in your inbox.

Age limits  

Minimum age: Children must be enrolled in Pre-Primary and have turned 5 years old to attend. Please note that the service reserves the right to assess whether a child is mature enough to participate. 

January holiday enrolments: Children can attend the January school holidays in the year they are due to start Pre-Primary, even if they haven't yet had their first day of school — as long as they have already turned 5 years old. 

Maximum age: Vacation Care is available to children in Primary School from Pre-Primary through to Year 6. Once a child turns 11–12 years old or reaches Year 7, the service will assess whether continued attendance is appropriate based on their maturity.
