Department of Human Services | Child Care Rebate - I hope that link is allowed.
If not, then basically:
This measure reduces the maximum rate of Centrelink’s Child Care Rebate from $7,778 to $7,500 per child per financial year, starting from 1 July 2010.
The rebate will not be indexed between 1 July 2010 and 30 June 2014, which means the maximum rate will not change during this period.
Child Care Rebate helps parents or guardians with 50% of out-of-pocket expenses for approved child care if they are working, training or studying. Out-of-pocket expenses are the total child care fees minus the Child Care Benefit.
Customers do not need to do anything, as the Family Assistance Office automatically assesses their Child Care Rebate. There are no changes to when or how these rebate payments are made.
