You work hard for every dollar in your super. Here's how to keep it safe from scams and fraud.

It’s time to shine with the Child Care Super Star Program

The Child Care Super Star Program was created to recognise the incredible people who work in the early childhood education and care sector. We want to celebrate people like you who make a difference every day.  

The program is open to the centres and workplaces of default and preferred employer partners of Child Care Super.   

Each month, registered centres and workplaces can nominate one of their brightest stars for their hard work and dedication. Not only will they get the recognition they deserve, but also a chance to win one of our Monthly Star Prizes, a $100 or $50 EFTPOS gift card for their outstanding contributions to early learning. Plus, they’ll go in the draw for our Annual Star Prize, a $1,000 Flight Centre Voucher

If you're an employer and would like to join the program, please get in touch with us at employer@childcaresuper.com.au.
