3-Day Guarantee Childcare
Starting January 2026, enjoy three days of subsidised childcare per week under the new 3-Day Guarantee – regardless of work, study, or activity level.

Our Gunnedah centre has been thoughtfully designed to create a calm, welcoming, and inspiring environment for young learners. From our light‑filled learning rooms to our purpose‑built indoor and outdoor spaces, every detail supports children’s curiosity, independence, and sense of belonging. Open, well‑organised areas allow children to move freely, explore at their own pace, and engage in meaningful play within a safe and secure setting.

At Oz Education, nothing is more important than the happiness, safety and wellbeing of your child.

The Government has introduced the 3 Day Guarantee, which provides all CCS eligible families with a minimum of 72 subsidised hours per fortnight, no matter your work, study or training hours.

Oz Education Early Learning Centres offer flexible hours – 9, 10, 11 or full day long daycare sessions to help minimise your out-of-pocket expenses for childcare and save further. If your family is entitled to a maximum subsidy of 95%, your fees could start from as little as $12 a day, depending on the centre.

Oz Education centres in New South Wales are approved for the Child Care Subsidy (CCS) and participate in the NSW Start Strong program.

This ensures families can benefit from high‑quality early learning while reducing out‑of‑pocket expenses. We’re here to support families and provide the best care and learning for every child.
