Uniform Policy

Our objective is to enable all employees to project a professional image that is in line with the expectations of our customers, clients, colleagues and parents. Employees who have been provided with a uniform as part of their role are expected to wear that uniform at all times during work hours and when representing KidsCo, and keep the uniform in good condition. At the end of employment, employees who were provided with a uniform must return the uniform within a reasonable timeframe after the end of their employment. If a uniform is not returned, this may result in KidsCo deducting the cost of the uniform and any monies outstanding in the final pay. Employees should also consider the appropriateness of their attire in the context of Workplace Health & Safety (WHS). If an employee’s role requires them to be outdoors, they must wear a hat and sunscreen to model appropriate behaviour and sun smart practices.

Dress Code

• All employees must be clean and well-groomed
• All team members must wear the KidsCo jumper or t-shirt with sensible casual pants/shorts, remember, we are working with Children, so make sure you wear clothes that you can be active, and engaged in fun experiences with the group!
• All team members are to wear closed footwear. No open shoes or high heels are permissible.
• All clothes must be clean, hygienic and in good shape. Obvious rips, tears or holes are not permissible.
• All team members are to dress in line with our SunSmart Policy, accordingly a wide brimmed hat and sunscreen must be worn by team members on any day where the UV Rating is above 3.
