Nannies and CCB/CCTR? BG?

[BrightSparkles]

If I was to look at getting a nanny for my 2 LO's when I return to work would I still get CCTR or CCB? I'm not sure about all the regulations for this kinda of thing. Or for nannies, is it all Cash in hand kind of work???
Hoep this makes sense...

you would need to find an agency that provides APPROVED care, not registered care. if they are an APPROVED care provider, you would qualify for CCB and CCTR

basically, the nannies that you find that advertise for themselves are mostly registered carers - they charge you full fees, give you a receipt, and you can put in a lump sum claim (quarterly, half yearly) for the registered care rebate - it's about 50c an hour, both you and your partner have to be working 15 hours a week, and you get a maximum of 24 hours of rebate per week per child (so about $12 give or take) - everything else is out of pocket costs - no rebates

approved care is generally applied to agencies. the process is just far too complex for an individual to qualify. approved carers attract CCB - and CCTR.. you may have to shop around, and you may find the initial cost of an approved carer is significantly more (the process for getting government approval can be rather exxy) - but when you work out the actual out of pocket costs, it probably works better. if you're working 15 or more hours per week, you'll qualify for up to 50 hours of subsidised care

FWIW - anyone can become a registered carer - grandparents, friends etc. they don't need to have any qualifications. Approved carers need to meet much stricter guidelines to maintain their "approval" for CCB.
