Child Care Benefit/Child Care Rebate Info

[Astrid]

Question:
Currently DD2 is at childcare. They handle everything really well, deal with the CCB and CCR paid to them without hassle
DD2 will be starting after kinder care. I have just received the invoice and they have not taken into account CCB and CCR, even though I can them. They have said about getting a receipt off them and taking it to FAO.

So do I have to physically take this receipt to Centrelink to handle?? - Thanks

(Don't get me started on this as both childcare and after kinder care are council run, so why one can do the right thing and the other can't is beyond me)

After kinder care sounds like registered care. So yes you will have to apply fr payment separately.

Thanks for that. Found the kinder booklet and it is registered care. Hard thing is they want payment for the term upfront, but can't issue the receipt till the end of the term.
