Child care facilities in Brisbane

[Jo & Mark]

Hi there, does anyone have any information on finding a registered child-minder in Brisbane?

We've been told that nursery places are hard to come by with long waiting lists and we were wondering what the alternatives are. Much the same as the UK, with registered childminders etc?

All information / advice and guidance gratefully received!

Best wishes - Mark and Jo and Fin :)

It really does depend on the specific area.

In my area, child care centres are always advertising vacancies. But in other areas, you get people on long waiting lists.

Some links for you that may be useful..
