Within the main categories above, priority should also be given to the following:
A child care service may require a Priority 3 child to vacate a place to make room for a child with a higher priority. They can only do so if you:
  • are notified when your child first entered care that your service follows this policy.
  • are given at least 14 days notice of the need for your child to vacate.
