Subsidies

Richmond Preschool has a fee subsidy available to families if you are holding a current Pension or Health care card. Subsidy claim forms are required to be completed and proof provided. Any parents who feel they may be eligible for a subsidy should enquire at the office.

Richmond Preschool is state funded and therefore does not attract CCS ( Child Care Subsidy)
