2024 Enrollment Update for NEW Families

26th September 2023

We are excited to announce that the enrollment process for the 2024 education year for our new families will begin soon. Starting on Monday, 9 October 2023 (after the school holidays), we will make available our 'New Family Expression of Interest Form – 2024 Enrolments’ via email, social media and our website - during this week. This form will enable you to request your preferred service(s) and day(s) for care next year.

Please note that the current 3-day maximum enrollment policy will still apply.

The ‘New Family Expression of Interest Form’ must be completed by Friday, 20 October 2023, to allow us sufficient time to process all requests. Offers for placement will be sent out during Week 5 (starting November 6, 2023). Once you have confirmed the offer, you will receive an email with a link to an Enrolment Form that will need to be completed.

Our goal is to have all enrollments confirmed and bookings made by the end of Week 8 - Friday, 1 December 2023, so that families will know their days of care for 2024. So please complete your enrolment form link as soon as possible.

Anticipating a high demand with over 800 enrollments expected for the 2024 year, we kindly ask for your patience and understanding as we undertake this process. The demand for Early Education and Care services in our region continues to exceed supply, but IDFS and our dedicated team are working diligently to ensure that every child has access to early education. We have taken into account your valuable feedback on enrollment processes and aim to make this process as smooth as possible for everyone.

We are looking forward to welcoming you in 2024.

IDFS
