YMCA Children’s Programs operates on a fortnightly debit cycle to withdraw payments for our services.
On a debit week, families will receive an account statement on the Monday and the direct debit is processed on the Thursday.
Payment is withdrawn for the next two weeks of care your family has booked.
This process is the same across all our programs including Early Learning, Before and After School Programs and School Holiday Programs.
Families are encouraged to review the following support documents:
- 2023 Debit Calendar: outlines key dates in the debit cycle up to December 2023
- Provision and Payment of Fees Procedure: outlines the responsibilities of the YMCA and account holders.
