This is done now isn't it? Instead of putting a child into day care, grandparents can now register to care for the children, & get paid for it can't they? With CCR & all involved?
Anyone else do it, or know how it works, who to contact & whats involved?
registered care doesn't attract ccr - only the registered care rebate (all of about 60c an hour, max 24 hours per week, both parents have to be meeting the work/study/training test). you pay in advance and provide receipts to claim payment back later
grandparents would have to look at the implications for them on tax etc as it is income from employment, can impact pension/taxable income etc...
Ok. Well we are considering it. DH isn't here, so working full time & I'm planning to study next year.
Would it stop mum having to go to employment agency appointments, if it was the minimum amount of time for her to have to work?
If she still has to do her ETC appointments & look for work etc, it can't really be done I guess.
My girlfriends mum is a carer for her neighbours kids.
She didn't have to look for work etc, as it is a job. But your mum would have to tell centrelink what she is earning, and it is taxed etc...
I *think* it works like being self employed for your mum.
I *think* you pay your mum full price, then claim it back in RCR. But you have to meet the requirements to get RCR in the first place...
Dont quote me, this is just what I assume from a few conversations....
