Finding childcare

If Childcare at Deakin is not available, please check other Municipal Childcare Centres.

Arriving with children under primary school age will require you to consider childcare, particularly if your spouse/partner intends to work to support the family while you are studying.

This consideration should be thought about very carefully as childcare in Australia is very expensive and you are not entitled to any government subsidy for this service, unless you are AusAid sponsored or a recipient of the International Postgraduate Research Scholarship. Please read the following information carefully to find out more about your eligibility for the Childcare Benefit.
