How to complete the provider transition process

Woman at laptop
The Department of Education and Training (DET) recommends that ECEC services take the following steps as soon as possible, to ensure they are ready to receive the new CCS payments from 2 July this year: 
 
  • Complete PRODA registration
    You will not be able to complete the next step unless at least one person with Management or Control has registered with PRODA. 
  • Complete the on-line transition form
  • Activate, register and set up your Child care software. 
    This will involve a number of considerations that will be different for each ECEC service’s circumstances. 
    If you are not using software, you can download Task Cards from DET's Provider Transition webpage (scroll to the bottom) so that you can complete the next step in the PEP (Provider Entry Point)
  • Update and create enrolments, link personnel into PRODA and check service details using your child care software OR the PEP (Provider Entry Point)
For greater detail on these steps, check out the DET fact sheet here, which includes a Transition Checklist (on page 3) .

You will not be able to submit data and receive CCS payments from 2 July 2018 if you do not complete these steps.
