Minimbah Helping Hands
Outside School Hours Care Program
In Partnership with Minimbah State School, Helping Hands Network provides convenient and affordable care for your children, while supporting the local community. We provide supervised care on school grounds in a safe, healthy and friendly environment, where the children can feel relaxed and involved in the daily activities.
We are flexible in providing our service and tailor our programs to meet the local school community needs. We provide much more than child minding. Our programs are designed to develop stronger, healthier and happier children, and provide an environment that is like a “home away from home”.
For a copy of the parent handbook that contains detailed information on the service please contact the Coordinator or drop into the Service.

Government Subsidies
As an approved service Helping Hands Network is able to work with families to secure significant rebates on their fees for child care. Our registration process captures data to compare against eligibility criteria to determine the level of benefit a family receives. There are a number of schemes available to families including.
Child Care Benefit (CCB) – the percentage benefit is determined by criteria including the number of children in care and household income. Helping Hands Network is able to automatically lodge claims on behalf of parents.
Child Care Tax Rebate (CCTR) – also available for families with high incomes, this quarterly rebate can entitle families to receive 50% of their out-of-pocket child care costs up to $7,500 (indexed) per child per year. Parents claim this directly.
The following table of fees highlights the amount parents will pay per child for each session taking into account the CCB.
