We have responsibility for child care licensing, as well as providing information and support to parents, carers and families on child care options.
Child care licensing
Our Child Care Licensing and Standards Unit (CCLSU) is responsible for licensing and monitoring child care services
CCLSU contributes to the quality of child care in Western Australia by ensuring child care services comply with the Child Care Services Act 2007 and the minimum standards set in the relevant child care Regulations.
Finding the right child care
Children’s services officers and parenting coordinators can help with information about local services, finding a service that is right for a child, ideas to help parents and carers settle a child into child care and have positive relationships with child carers.
The Australian Government's Family Assistance Office provides information about Child Care Benefit and other financial assistance for families.
