Direct Debit
We will not be direct debiting over the holidays. We will have our first direct debit for the year on Wednesday 13th of January 2021. Statements will issue as normal on Tuesday 12th January to advise details.
Please note that Subicare’s policy is to be one week in advance. Therefore, we will be debiting enough funds from parent’s accounts on the 13th to cover the first week’s fees, plus one week in advance. Please note that if you are a fortnightly or monthly payer, you will have one week plus your fortnightly or monthly amount deducted (if that is your nominated date to direct debit from your account).
If you’d like to discuss this, or would like to change your option for direct debiting, please feel free to call or email Trish in admin. She will be in the office Tuesdays and Fridays from 9.30am – 3.30pm.
