City Child Care Centre — occasional care
Council centre with explicitly published occasional care and irregular casual bookings by phone or in person.
Published information checked 25 October 2026 · Not confirmed for any requested date
A published casual-care route is a lead to check. Ask the provider to confirm your actual date, local times, exact age eligibility, enrolment and payment steps. This profile does not reserve a place.
Current listing invites a waitlist enquiry. Ask about intake and new-family requirements before relying on a date.
What is published?
- Service type
- Local service
- Operator / brand
- Rockhampton Regional Council
- Locality
- Rockhampton
- Published service area
- 189 Alma Street, Rockhampton CBD.
- Coverage conditions
- One local council centre. Contact the centre about enrolment and a suitable occasional session; the council advertises a waitlist.
- Care offered
- Occasional care
- Exact published ages
- Current council listing: 6 weeks to school age. An older linked handbook gives room ranges of nursery 6 weeks–24 months, toddlers 15–36 months and preschool 30 months–12 years; its upper age conflicts with the current listing, so school-age eligibility is not assumed.
- Booking routes
- Phone / email enquiry · Enrol first · Waitlist / request
- Before the first booking
- Enrolment is required. Current listing invites families to join the waitlist. The published older handbook permits bookings in person or by phone; confirm that its process still applies. Phone 07 4936 8255 or email childcare@rrc.qld.gov.au.
- Published care hours
- Occasional care Monday–Friday 08:00–17:00. Long day care 06:45–17:45 is a separate offer.
- Calendar and session limits
- Older linked handbook says closed public holidays and two weeks over Christmas. Obtain the current closure dates.
- Notice / lead time
- Older linked handbook: book during the current week or the following week; confirm current booking window.
- Fee information · AUD
- Current care fee is unconfirmed. Enrolment fees conflict: council Fees page $70 per child; 2024–2025 enrolment form $80; older handbook $55. Fees page requires one week in advance. Request the applicable current fee schedule.
- Cancellation / absence terms
- Older handbook describes $25 for a casual day cancelled without five days' written notice. The 2024–2025 form requires two weeks' written notice to cancel care and one week for permanent-day changes; obtain current occasional-session terms.
