TRANSITIONING YOUR SERVICE:
- Action your Transition Pack from DET

- Consider your IT infrastructure and (possibly) automated sign in
- Possibly establish new session types and fee structures
- Set up your Complying Written Arrangements (CWAs) with existing and new families
- Check the enrolment status of your families
- Ensure key personnel are trained in CCS requirements to support families in their transition
TRANSITIONING YOUR FAMILIES:
- Educate your families about the new Child Care Subsidy
- You may also find the CCS materials for Non-English Speaking Background (NESB) families useful.
- Make sure your families have updated their details correctly in MyGov to maximise their level of subsidised care
- Advise families of any changes to fee structure / daily fee
- Consider arrangements for any current Special Child Care Benefit (SCCB) family as a potential transition to Additional Child Care Subsidy (ACCS)

ACA has produced a blog article - FAMILIES: Make sure you’re ready for the new Child Care Subsidy - to assist existing and new families in adopting to the new system and making sure they are registered correctly, including their completion of the activity test. We encourage you to share this with your families. |
