CCR Questions

[Floweryfields]

They are incredibly cheap fees for a centre elligible for CCB - is she sure it's a centre that does get CCB - because I've never heard of one that doesn't apply it to fees but expects you to claim later. C&Ks that do CCB normally have a high daily rate like $70 but she's not even paying that a week.

The hourly rate provided by centrelink is 3.78, but she's only paying $2.88 per hour as it is. If it's a CCB centre, she will most likely get the whole lot back from what I can see.

Ok thanks heaps.

I'm not really sure how the centre works in terms of CCB etc.

All i know is that when she went and saw Centrelink they said that her paying the fee's upfront and her being reembursed was the only way rather than how normal centres do it.

Thanks again!!

Sounds like registered care. Check out child care thread I started a few days back

Sorry BG, I should have read that in the first place.

Thanks heaps.

So from what i've read I think she will get 85% of the balance back and the rest is kept until tax time.

Thanks for taking the time to post all those threads! Very helpful!

No. That is rebate. Registered care is different.

Registered care is only about 63c per hour. And only if she is working studying or training. It is a very small amount

Ahhh ok.

I'll pass the info onto her.

Thanks again
