I it possible to get financial help with child care for summer holidays
 

I only started work 2 weeks ago but i need to have my kids looked after while im working. I work school hours so i dont need child care normally.
I have 3 boys who need to be looked after . Ive been in touch with the YMCA who run child care places in Darwin and the amount they charge per day for 1 child is near enough what i earn a day so having 3 means my wages wont even cover the cost for all 3 and i cant leave them to fend for themselves.
Does anyone know if there is any help i can get to cover the costs? I would hate to give up my job as im really enjoying it and it is only holidays that are causing me a problem.
