It is a legal requirement that all children must be signed in on their arrival and signed out on their departure on a daily basis. The centre now uses the digital sign in which is linked to My Gov. These signatures are the means by which you will continue to receive the rebates.  These attendance records are also used to check attendance in the case of an emergency (e.g. fire).

If your child is absent and you are receiving the rebate it is still necessary to digitally sign in as soon as your child returns to the centre indicating the reason for their absence. 42 absent days are allowed per financial year before full fees will be charged by Centrelink.

The Federal Government has set priority guidelines for the Child Care Rebate. The main priority for a place in a centre is for working parents, those seeking work, and students. This amount of childcare benefit depends on your joint gross weekly income, which is assessed through the Family Assistance Office (FAO). Families can contact the FAO on 13 61 50.

If you are applying for child care assistance we advise parent’s to apply for a CRN and FRN which is done through Centrelink. We need both of these reference numbers and date of birth for your child and the primary parent/guardian who is applying or claiming the CCB.

The centre’s CRN is F01-6LQ-51. You may need to quote this to the FAO when linking your child to the CCB.

Our Centre is involved with the JET Program

The JET program stands for “Jobs, Education and Training” and is income means-tested. The program is run through Centrelink and helps pay the parent part of the fees. Please ring Centrelink directly for more information.
