School Holiday Program

As you complete your enrolment you will be asked to provide certain information in order to secure a spot for your child.

We suggest preparing the following documentation before setting up an account:

• Contact information: Contact information is required for the person who will be responsible for the account. Please note: The primary contact would also be the parent or guardian registered for Centrelink benefits.
• Secondary contact: You will also be asked to add a secondary contact, which is the additional parent/guardian.
• Billing information: Your child cannot commence care with us until a payment method has been set up. Please provide the following billing information: credit card details or bank card details.
• Action plans, birth certificates and immunisation history statements.

If this is your first time booking into our programs, you'll need to register for a My Family Lounge account with the Y to enrol your child. My Family Lounge is our online booking and enrolment system. Once you have enrolled you will be able to use your account any time you wish to book our our child care services. 

You will be asked to set up an account with a username and password.

Once you have registered you will be sent an email so you can continue your enrolment at a time that is convenient to you.

The first time you register with My Family Lounge you will need to use the desktop or mobile webpage, not the My Family Lounge app. Once registered, you can use the My Family Lounge app, which you can download via the Apple App Store.

Once you have enrolled with YMCA Children's Programs, we recommend reviewing the resources and support service available on our enrolment hub.

This include advice on accessing the Child Care Subsidy, details on our fortnightly debit cycle and directions on updating bank details.

The Child Care Subsidy (CCS) helps eligible families access approved and registered child care providers, by partially subsidising the cost of daily fees.

CCS is provided by the Federal Government and is managed through their Services Australia agency.
