Does my child have to be immunised to attend the centre?
No, however the Children's Centre has a policy of exclusion of children who are not immunised when a particular disease is present or suspected at the Centre.
This policy does not apply to children who are not yet old enough for certain immunisations, or who cannot be immunised for medical reasons. This policy is designed to protect the child who is not immunised, whether by choice or for medical reasons, and to reduce the potential spread of those contagious diseases in the community.
When infectious diseases that can be immunised against are evident in the Centre, the information we have on computer regarding your child's immunisation status will be used to contact you should our records indicate that your child is at that time un-immunised. Therefore, it is vital that you notify the Customer Service Officer of your child's immunisation updates regularly.
