Have you done all your preparations for the new Child Care Subsidy?

As all ECEC service providers would probably now be aware, the new Child Care Subsidy package, which will include a new payment known as the Child Care Subsidy (CCS), is due to be fully implemented on 2 July this year.

The CCS will replace the Child Care Benefit (CCB) and the Child Care Rebate (CCR) and will be paid directly to Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) services on behalf of families.

As the changes surrounding this new package will affect more than 17,000 service providers across Australia and over 1.2 million families using ECEC services, it’s important that all ECEC service providers and their families understand what they need to do between now and July to ensure a successful transition to the new system.

Those of you who anticipate having an Assessment and Rating visit in early 2018 may have read widely about the changes so that you are prepared and so that there are no nasty surprises!

This article is designed to give you a quick update about the changes and will provide some links for further information to save you having to hunt for it.
