Who We Are

We are a community based non profit long day care centre.

 Koala Child Care Centre is a non-profit, community based, extended hours facility which offers high quality care and education for children aged from 6 weeks to 6 years during the day.

The Centre was established in 1989 and is sponsored by the NSW Health Department and its affiliates (The South Eastern Sydney Area Health Service and The Sutherland Hospital) who own the building and the land.
​
Koala Child Care Centre has established a well-known reputation in the local area for the high standard of care and education. Many of the educators at Koala have been at the Centre for well over 10 years and the relationships they develop with the children and families are lifelong.
The Board of Management

The Centre is a non-profit community based company and is administered by a Board of Management which consists of 9 elected parents and the Manager of Corporate Services Sutherland Hospital.

The Board Aims to:
  • Meet once a month to discuss Centre business.
  • Ensure developmental, operational and financial stability of the Centre
  • Involve parents and members of the wider community in this process
  • Develop, implement and evaluate centre policies in the interests of the children, parents and staff.
