Now have been told I am not entitled to any CCB has also made my fees increased again, to now a crazy $570 per week. That is a $105 per week increase. Even groceries don't have that quick of a climb. Labor party will never have my vote, as this is why??? Great 50% rebate!

I am so angry with this happening all the time.

I have gone from paying $50.00 to $57.00 with no reason given and it is not good ebough as I need the service becasue I have three children and my eldest is in a wheelchair through no fault of his own. Meanwhile my middle child who probably would have had problems regardless has extra separate issues which put extra stress on the family and we have a 15 month old baby with ezcema too.

My fees have just increased from $53/day to $63/day. Thats an 18.8% increase.

The staff at ABC Thirlmere are all devastated by the hike as are the parents.

My decision has been to pull my son out and put him in the only other local centre where fees have just been increased from $50 to $52/day. Thats cheaper than what i was paying before the ABC increase.

The staff at ABC also said not all their staff have received a pay increase either.

Greedy Eddy strikes again......

It is very difficult to make the decision to put them in care at all, and the cost to do so makes it an even bigger dilemma whether it is "worthwhile" to re-enter the workforce.
