Notice of (regretful) Price Increase Effective Monday 8th April 2024.
Friends, our pricing structure has been reviewed through necessity of the untenable circumstances we face. Details of modest new prices are included below and will come into effect for new bookings from Monday 8 April 2024.
In recent times, we have seen an exponential growth in operating costs and labour challenges. We’re already short-staffed, and have been unable to attract another team member due to not being able to offer competitive salaries. Luckily, our existing team are superstars and have made up for the gap with their extraordinary efforts.
We will continue to offer free consultations such as checks, adjustments and installations; however, going forward these will only be provided to people with a Health Care Card, or a referral from a relevant health professional or community organisation. These will need to be requested in advance and approved by management. This is a result of our precarious financial situation, while still ensuring that we can better direct our support to those in our community who are in need. You can request a free service appointment here.
The ACT Government is aware of our position, which is no longer sustainable. We are currently engaging with them in good faith to have it remedied. Without a solution in the very near future, Kidsafe ACT will have to reconsider its viability to remain open, and a critical public service to the Canberra community would be jeapodised.
We thank you for your ongoing understanding and support and we will continue to serve the community to the best of our ability.
As a charity, all donations over $2 are tax deductible. All donations large or small are welcome and appreciated. Please donate below or come in and see us at Kidsafe in Pearce.
