sbotth29 its doesn't show up until a couple of days before as that is when it is processed. So no it won't show a week before, and Centrelink staff won't be able to see the payment the week before for that exact reason. We have to wait to get all the figures etc from the Childcare provider and then they run the data and payments generate from there.

There is no reason so have a go at Centrelink if the payment isn't processed it isn't processed. The payments start processing as of the 3rd week of October and depending on when your FTB payment falls you either receive yours in the 3rd or 4th week.

Patience you will receive it.
