Child Care Rebate

ok, I've had a look at the websites, re-read the material we've been given, and I have one question remaining ...

we've signed up for the CCB and CCR, and have been getting the CCB direct from the day care centre, but when do we get the quarterly reimbursement?

DS started daycare in July, and I gather the most recent payment happened in Jule/July so I'm thinking it will probably be September/October, but I can't find the dates anywhere ...

It doesn't look like I have to fill out anymore paperwork, or "apply" for it again ... do I?

No, you won't need to fill out any paperwork or anything.

If you've elected to get it quarterly, it will probably be paid sometime in October, after the end of the September quarter. From memory, mine always came towards the end of the month.

We've now chosen to just have our CCR paid directly to the CC fortnightly. In some ways it is good, because you're not covering the extra. But on the other hand, I kind of liked getting a nice lump sum every few months.

If you just signed up in July the first quarter starts paying around the 3rd week in October, you should get paid either the 3rd or 4th week depending on where your day falls. The next quarter pays around 3rd week of January, 3rd quarter 3rd week in April and the last quarter in most peoples circumstances isn't paid until you have both completed your tax returns.

Rebate payments are listed here - hope it's okay to post the link?

Thanks loads, lovely ladies!!
