Questions
Before you join
Who can join?
Educators join the Educators membership. Approved providers and persons with management control join the Managers membership. Families and supporters join Parents and Friends, which is free and is not a statutory membership.
How much does membership cost?
Parents and Friends is free. Educators pay $2 every 7 days. Managers pay $10 every 7 days. The first payment is one week, not a prorated remainder of the calendar month. Under the draft constitution a $1 joining fee applies to statutory members and is absorbed into that first payment, so you still pay the weekly rate. Checkout may add tax on top of the listed price.
What is the difference between Parents and Friends and Educator or Manager membership?
Educator and Manager members are statutory members of Family Day Care Alliance Limited, with a $1 guarantee on winding up. Parents and Friends are public supporters. They are not placed on the statutory register, and they agree to the Parents and Friends Code of Conduct when they join.
Can I post anonymously?
In member rooms, the draft Code of Conduct allows people to ask a moderator to re-share a contribution without their name. Disparagement is not allowed. Child safety comes first.
How do I join?
Choose a membership, tell us who you are on a short two-step form, then complete checkout on Whop. Parents and Friends checkout is $0. After you join you will find your group, chat, and (for Educators and Managers) courses in the member hub.
