Corporate Kidz Australia prides themselves on offering premium quality care, which in a festival environment extends beyond basic needs. Due to the nature of such a large event, child protection and ethical issues need to be addressed.

The following strategies will ensure safety and wellbeing for all children and adults using our facilities.

  • A full risk assessment and a safety inspection of ICA Kids area has been conducted before the commencement of the festival and during the event WHS (Work Health and Safety) is continuously monitored and maintained.
  • Kidz HQ Managing staff are trained teachers and child carers with many years experience at these types of events and all have working with children checks and First Aid/CPR/Anaphylaxis Training.
  • All  staff have had the appropriate “Working with Children” background checks completed and many have First Aid Certification.
  • ICA Kids is strictly for children and their parents only.

Children are to be signed in on arrival and out by the parent or guardian at the end of the care session (Parent or Guardian ID maybe requested both at the security gate and by the crèche manager).

Parents are required to remain onsite at the Fair and provide 2 mobile phone numbers to Corporate Kidz Australia so they are easily contactable.

Parents and / or guardians must remain contactable at all times (on mobile).

The same parent and / or guardian must return to collect their child. Children will not be released to anyone else.

To help ensure that ICA Kids is a positive experience for all, we ask that if your child becomes unsettled that you take them out of the room until they are again settled. We appreciate your understanding that an unsettled child could impact others. Should a child become unwell or upset during the time of care, parents and guardians will be contacted and the child will need to be collected. Staff will do everything possible to make your child feel safe and happy as you make your way back to the Kidz HQ.

All enquiries relating to the crèche and babysitting services should be directed to Corporate Kidz Australia.  When calling please advise that your enquiry is related to ICA Kids 2024.
