ausgirl, thanks for the info! i am a single non working mum (well i sell some jewelry that i make but it isnt a registered business) and will be a single studying mum when i apply for JET. i will have to go to centrelink and ask someone about it cause i was really confused by the online thing!!

doesnt make much sense that working mums pay more than non working mums, yes theyre making more money but they should get it cheaper than someone who isnt working? thats just my opinion i guess!
but if it is quite cheap like $10 a day i could put her in 1 maybe 2 days a week for a month to try it out...any idea how long FDC waiting lists are? i havent had the chance to call around yet, thanks!
