CRN for a child?

[thepixie]

Apparently DD needs a CRN (or CAN whatever they are calling them this week) so we can have our CCTR calculated. How do I get this for her? I tried online services but it said the service can't be used by a child under 12.

Do you mean a customer number?

Each child is given a number when you send in the Centrelink forms you get when they are born. My kids numbers were on our health care card when we had it.

I think if you ring them they should be able to tell you what it is.

call fao - they'll give it to you (and make sure your details are right for cctr at their end)

All that stuff and how it works totatally confuses me! so DH deals with it - and im pretty sure he rang Centrelink or maybe it was Family Assistance for that????

You will all have CRN numbers, I discovered DH had one when I needed to fill in creche forms. Ring 136150 and they will be able to give them all to you.
It's handy to do online, that's pretty much the only way I deal with Centrelink or I use the Medicare Office.
