Former Tropical Cyclone Alfred is still impacting SEQ and Northern NSW with high winds and significant rainfall over the weekend, with further significant rainfall predicted. The situation is volatile as the system continues to move across the region.
This means we cannot safely reopen some centres on Tuesday (11 March). We are working to assess damage and will determine if these centres will be safe to reopen on Wednesday.
Please note that not all Goodstart centres are closed - only the ones listed below are affected. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and assure you that fees will not be charged for the days the centres are closed.
We are continuously monitoring the situation and will provide updates on reopening as soon as possible.
