孩子2岁半，本周二在幼儿园后院玩的时候，从cuby house上往下滑，摔下来了，右侧锁骨骨折。孩子非常痛苦，要在家休养一个月。幼儿园知情后，发了很长的邮件 ，很官方的阐述她们都是按照规章制度办事的，她们没有责任，她们买的PUBLIC保险也不能赔付此事故的任何医疗费（更不用提大人要请假照顾孩子的误工费之类的了）。幼儿园还表示，孩子休完病假后，她们不能保证孩子回去还能有位置。孩子一直都是5天full time，父母双职工，没有人帮忙。
求助万能的，这个事情要如何争取应有的权益？

能怎么办呢.....养好了，没事就好....

不懂帮顶。
但看得我都火冒三丈了。为什么没责任啊? public liability 保险应该就是保这个的吧？从某种程度上来说，孩子是"客户"， 就像商场，顾客滑倒摔骨折了不得赔吗?
评论
也不懂。 不过幼儿园是council的么？ 如果是的话。 给council 打电话应该有法律部门援助的。
如果是私立的。我怎么感觉应该保险要cover才对！

看过好几次这种故事了。似乎没有办法。只要CC通过了各种检查，这边法律保护的是CC不是孩子。
我觉得如果孩子休病假就不用付CC的钱但是依然保留位子的话，他们也会更用心的看好孩子。现在的政策真是很搞笑。

安慰一下

打电话去政府部门询问确定幼儿园是不是真的完全免责？难道幼儿园就完全没有疏忽大意？
评论
这个比那个叉子戳眼睛的还要让人窝火
评论
开始两周肯定大人在家照看，孩子好点后找保姆在家帮忙看看吧。另外这是幼儿园自己的说法，不代表他的立场不变。楼主首先咨询一下，搜索澳洲本地育儿网，看看以前例子。然后找院方聊。

CC最好你出了钱，不要进去～

先仔细看看你和childcare签的合同书上有没有免责条例。第二，估计你要证明是childcare员工失职引发的，而不是小孩调皮而发生的。。。
My Child Was Injured While in Child Care, Can I Sue?
21
Feb
TGB's Mal Byrne writes about the potential for compensation when a child is injured at child care.
In contemporary Australia, the need for child care continues to grow. Most families rely on the wage of both parents to pay the mortgage and make ends meet. Child care has become a necessity and it is not a cheap necessity. So, what if your child is injured whilst in child care? Can you sue the child care provider for damages?
The first thing that you need to consider is whether the injury was serious enough to warrant taking legal action. There is a threshold. Under the Civil Liability Act 1936 (SA), a person must have been significantly impaired for a period of at least seven days by the injury to be able to obtain compensation. If your child recovers quickly with no long-term consequences, there is no point in taking action. The other reason that you need to seriously consider whether you want to take legal action is that it is going to make your relationship with your child care provider uncomfortable. If you are not happy with the service, you may want to change child care providers in any event, but finding a child care place is difficult. The amount of compensation that you might be able to obtain may not be worth the hassle of having to hire a new child care provider or continue with the same child care provider but in an awkward unpleasant relationship.
There are two potential causes of action:
1. Negligence
You can sue the child care provider if you can establish that your child was injured due to the negligence of the child care provider. Child care providers have a legal duty of care to the children in their care. The question is whether the child care provider has breached its duty of care based on the circumstances in which your child was injured. Not all injuries that children sustain in child care centres are due to the negligence of the provider. Children, particularly pre-school age children, are prone to having accidents. Children also interact with each other and it is not uncommon for one child to be injured by another child.
There are number of ways in which you can test whether there has been a failure of care on behalf of the child care provider. The Federal Government accredits child care centres and has set up standards that child care centre must meet to be accredited. If a child is injured in circumstances where the injury occurred because those accredited standards were not met, a Court is likely to hold the child care centre liable.
Supervision is important. A child care centre must have a minimum number of staff supervising children based on the number of children in care. The younger the children, the more supervision required. Toddlers who have not been walking for long are more likely to fall and less likely to be aware of the risks of certain behaviour. Not all accidents can be prevented by supervision. Supervisors cannot have eyes in the back of their head to have their eyes on every child in their care at all times. It is a matter of common sense and that is how the Courts will assess claims.
Equipment is another issue. A child care centre could be held liable where a child is injured because of faulty equipment. Equipment needs to be safe. It needs to be maintained and up to date. The equipment in play areas also needs to be arranged sensibly. Occupational health and safety standards must be met.
2. Breach of Contract
When you enrol your child in child care, you will sign an agreement with the provider. If your child is injured at child care, you may be able to argue that the provider has breached its contract with you by not adequately caring for your child. You should read your child care agreement carefully. In particular, as a parent, you need to work out what expectations the child care centre has of you as a parent. Not everything is the child care centre’s responsibility. You need to send your child properly dressed. You need to advise the child care centre if your child suffers from any chronic illnesses, allergies or special dietary needs. There will be requirements of you and the centre regarding any medication the child needs to take during the care period. There will be terms relating to the procedure during a medical emergency or accident and regarding delivery and collection of the child. You should provide a hat during warm weather. You may need to provide sunscreen but it depends on the centre’s policy as to who takes responsibility for slip slop and slap. However even if the contract states that it is the parents’ responsibility to provide sunscreen, a Court would still expect the centre to use common sense when children are outside. If a child is not wearing sunscreen but spending time in the sun, the court would expect the provider to take the child inside and apply sunscreen to the child or leave the child inside so as to avoid burns.
In summary, child care centres will be expected by the Courts to meet the reasonable standards of the day, but the Courts also realise that not all accidents are preventable and will assess each accident on its merits to see whether negligence or a breach of contract has occurred.

最近看到好几个幼儿园的事件而且还都是已经2岁半到三岁半的孩子，真心觉得每天送孩子去简直是一件很冒风险的事情。。。。。。
评论
才2岁半！能怪孩子调皮吗？肯定是老师的失职啊
我们这幼儿园3岁以下的三个班连滑梯都没有，都是小型的玩具，就这样还有孩子受伤

Bang ding!

这个例子于法于理都是说不通的。
首先，任何公司和个人都可以写明自己的免责条款，但是，这些一定奏效吗？法律一定支持吗？
其次，付钱进了CC，那家长和院方就自动进入了一个合同，也就是在家长不在时，院方即为孩子的临时监护人，任何在园内出的事情事故都应该由院方负责（不可抗力除外），如果都像lz这个案子中cc说自己免责，那岂不是天下打乱，没有王法了？把孩子送到CC相当于送到了无保护的，危险的地方
再次，就是政府向着cc，难道出了伤亡也是向着cc？那老外们这样注意保护自己安全和利益的群体早就不去了！
lz不要和他们理论，他们是十分有经验的，赶紧找律师给他们会信为妙。说多了容易被抓住弱点

自己在家养这吧，除非是能证明员工故意摔你孩子。
小学里 三天两头有学生摔断胳膊，这要是能赔， 学校不得破产了
评论
很不适应,从一个极端_中国, CC和老师付全责到另一个极端_澳大利亚 CC和老师没有任何责任.
评论
这哪个幼儿园啊？就算养好了谁还敢放回去给他们看？？
没人管的话让媒体曝光一下吧，哪怕没的赔也让别的父母看看这家cc多么不负责任！
评论
忍不住要骂街了！楼主不能默默的就算了。至少要多方咨询一下搞搞清楚。就是不送孩子去那个CC了，也要扩大影响，让后人注意！
评论
类似事情新闻报过的。我们普通人打不赢cc的。律师也不建议。
