The Aim of the Campaign
To maintain On-Campus Childcare Centre in its present location. Refer to our Update page for latest developments.
The reason given for planning to close this on-campus centre was to use the children's playground as "greenspace" for students. 700 students petitioned against this proposal.
This centre is unique and caters to the specific needs of students such as flexibility for timetable changes, payment only for half days; reservation of their places during semester breaks, holiday and study needs, and low incomes.
This purpose-built childcare centre was opened only about 5 years ago and funded from a Commonwealth grant.
