Frequently Asked Questions

Day Stay Program

How much does it cost to come to QEC?
There is no charge for admission to a QEC program. You are admitted as a Medicare client. You are expected to bring your own nappies and formula and the only expense for Day Stay is if you wish to buy lunch.

Can I leave the building?
Yes, there is a shopping centre near or you can go for walks in your free time.

Are there shops close by?
Yes, Noble Park shopping Centre is about 5 minutes walking distance. Parkmore Shopping Centre is approximately 5 minutes away by car.

Is there security parking for my car?
There is a well-lit parking area but it is not secure parking.

Do I need to bring toys for my child?
We do have a play room with lots of toys; however, if your child has a favourite toy, you can bring that along with you. Be sure to mark your child’s toy with a name tag.

Can I speak to someone straight away?
You need to book a call to speak to a nurse. When you first call in, the receptionist will take some initial details and book a call for you. Unfortunately QEC does not have an emergency service where you get put through straight away.
