We acknowledge the importance of connection to land, culture, spirituality, ancestry, family and community for the wellbeing of all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children and their families.

Benefits for you
Kate Cocks Community Children's Centre, being community based, gives families the opportunity to participate in the Centre.
Families can have a hand in determining financial expenditure, programs offered, staff employed and setting of priorities.
Programs provided for the children are more likely to reflect their needs because of this parental involvement.
Costs are contained because parents using the Centre and paying the fees are responsible, as Governance Committee members, for formulating the Centre’s budget and setting the fees.
The Centre also offers Child Care Subsides schemes to eligible families. To apply you would need to go to https://my.gov.au/ login to your account and apply for these subsidies.
