Guidance When Your Child Is Hurt In Care

Why Us
Rin Kim Intro 1.jpg

Strict Standards Apply To Childcare

Childcare services must meet national standards, including adequate supervision, safe equipment & appropriate staff-to-child ratios.

We’ll compare the centre’s practices against those standards, so you know whether they fell short.

Centre, Educator Or Care Provider?

Depending on the setting, responsibility may rest with the approved provider, a family day care educator or an outside school hours care service.

We’ll establish who was responsible, sparing your family time & frustration.

Getting The Full Story

Services are generally required to record injuries & notify parents, but early explanations can be brief or incomplete.

We’ll request the full incident records, so you get a clear account of what happened to your child.

Early Steps Protect Your Child’s Options

While children’s time limits can work differently, the most useful evidence, from CCTV to staff recollections, can be lost within weeks.

Request Your Free Case Review, & a senior lawyer will reach you within 24 hours to clarify your child’s time limits and request the centre’s records promptly.

02

Claim Assessment

We assess supervision levels, staff ratios & the centre’s safety practices.

Key Things To Know About Childcare & Daycare Injury Claims

01

Get A Copy Of What You Sign

Centres usually ask parents to sign an incident record, so request a copy before you leave.

We’ll review it alongside the centre’s full records to identify any gaps or inconsistencies.

02

Photograph Your Child’s Injuries

Take clear, dated photos of bruises, cuts or swelling as they change.

We’ll use these images to show the injury’s severity & how it progressed.

03

Seek Medical Advice Promptly

Young children can’t always describe their pain, so have your GP check them soon after any injury.

We’ll gather the medical notes to link the injury to the time in care.

04

Time Limits Matter

Children may have longer to claim, but centres don’t keep every record forever.

Request Your Free Case Review, & a senior lawyer will reach you within 24 hours to explain your child’s deadlines and the documents to request first.

Frequently Asked Questions

You may be able to claim if poor supervision, unsafe equipment or another lapse in care caused or contributed to your child’s injury.

Centres are generally required to record injuries & let parents know promptly. You can ask for a copy of the record.

Some incidents happen despite good care, but a claim may be possible if supervision was inadequate.

Possibly. If your child is injured in family day care, you may have grounds for a claim if the educator or service failed to take reasonable steps to keep them safe. The circumstances of the injury will determine whether a claim is available.

No. That’s a personal decision, and making a claim doesn’t require it. We’ll support whatever choice feels right for your family.

It depends on your child’s injury & recovery, along with any ongoing care or costs your family carries. We’ll explain what may apply once we’ve reviewed your case.

Not necessarily, but an experienced lawyer can assess your child’s claim, explain your options & help ensure any compensation sought reflects the impact of the injury and their future needs.

Yes. Rin Kim Law provides No Win, No Fee services for eligible childcare & daycare injury claims. We’ll explain the terms & eligibility before you decide whether to proceed.
