CHILDCARE SERVICE

We are pleased to inform our attendees that there will be childcare services available during congress days to attendees that wish to travel with children. The service, provided by ‘Victorian Babysitting Service’, is offered to all ages – from newborn to teens. For your convenience, carers will travel to your hotel and care for your children within your room. All carers are experienced and thoroughly screened with the following valid qualifications:

• Referenced and police checked
• First aid trained
• Working with children checked
• Public liability insured

Please note that WCN 2019 organizers are not responsible for any aspect of the service. Rates start from 75AUD for 2 hours with decreasing rates per extra hour. These prices are subject to change and must be verified with the provider. All bookings and payments will be made directly with ‘Victorian Babysitting Service’. Please contact Rose Leckie at [email protected] for further information.
