Does your family need care for a family member in an emergency situation?

The goal of the Emergency Family Care Assistance Program is to facilitate short-term emergency care requirements in times of a CAF work-related separation and/or emergency.

If your family care plan has failed, this service can help your family bridge the gap.

If a Canadian Forces member must report for duty on short-notice -- or is away on a Military-related tasking -- and something happens that prevents the other parent from being able to care for their children, the PMFRC can help to arrange short-term emergency child care until more permanent arrangements can be made.

If the situation is not an emergency, but child care is seen to be essential for the family’s continued health, well-being and resilience, a period of care may be available.

Child Care Plan

A Child Care Plan is a written document that outlines your child care arrangements for regular, back-up and/ or emergency situations.

Often times, families think they don’t need a child care plan because one parent is always at home. A good child care plan ensures that you are ready for any “what if” situation.
