i hadn't heard that they were now expecting weekly processing of usage - it's a PITA for those centres that arent linked via a network to the child care processing teams as they will have to generate statements, forward them across, and then have the processing team upload the information to the system. it's always been a case of the CCB being paid in arrears - this is just adding extra pressure to them all. they're effectively going to have to commit at least one person for at least one day a week (or equivalent) just to process it all. i feel for the providers genuinely trying to be there for the families, not the bottom dollar - i'm guessing the small providers (so your community types, not your ABC's) would make little to no profit from child care...
