17.01.2022 Child Care Subsidy balancing basics What is balancing? After the end of each financial year, Centrelink balances your Child Care Subsidy. They do this to make sure you received the right amount of subsidy for the financial year.... How does balancing work? Centrelink looks at your adjusted taxable income for the 2018-19 financial year and compares it to the estimate you gave them. They then work out if you were paid too little subsidy, the right amount or too much. They’ll send you a letter to let you know the outcome. Your letter will tell you whether: you’ll get a top up of subsidy because you were paid too little, you’ll need to pay Centrelink back because you were overpaid, or you were paid the right amount, and don’t need to do anything. What you need to do? To balance your Child Care Subsidy payments, Centrelink needs to confirm your family income for the 2018-19 financial year. Once you and your partner have lodged your tax return, the Australian Tax Office will send Centrelink your income information. There's nothing else you need to do and there's no need to call. If one or both of you don’t need to lodge a tax return, you need to tell Centrelink you’re not required to lodge. Your subsidy can’t be balanced until you do this. Telling Centrelink you’re not required to lodge You can tell Centrelink you don’t need to lodge a tax return in either your: Centrelink online account through myGov, or Express Plus Centrelink mobile app. Select Advise non-lodgement and follow the prompts. Where to go for more information? To see when your Child Care Subsidy has been balanced you don’t need to call Centrelink. Instead you can: -keep an eye on your myGov Inbox, as this is where Centrelink will send your outcome letter if you get letters electronically. -view the status of Child Care Subsidy balancing in your Centrelink online account through myGov or Express Plus Centrelink mobile app. To find out more about balancing your Child Care Subsidy (or your other family payments) go to humanservices.gov.au/balancing.

17.01.2022 Beautiful memories!

04.01.2022 Dear Families, Child Care Subsidy balancing is underway... Throughout the year, Centrelink pays your Child Care Subsidy (CCS) based on the details you’ve given them. At the end of the financial year, they balance your CCS to make sure you received the right amount. Centrelink is balancing CCS for the 201819 financial year. Your CCS won’t be balanced straightaway. It can take some time. Here’s how Centrelink gets to your outcome. 1. You confirm your income You need to confirm your family’s income for the 201819 financial year before Centrelink can balance your CCS. You and your partner do this by lodging your tax returns with the Australian Taxation Office. If you don’t need to lodge a tax return, you need to tell Centrelink by doing an ‘Advise non-lodgement’ with them. You can do that either in your: Centrelink online account through myGov, or Express Plus Centrelink mobile app. 2. Centrelink works out your CCS entitlement Once you’ve confirmed your family income, Centrelink will work out how much subsidy you were entitled to for the financial year. They compare that amount to how much you were paid throughout the year. Centrelink then makes any necessary adjustments. This includes adding CCS withheld throughout the year. Centrelink withholds 5% of your weekly CCS during the year as a default. If you were paid too much CCS at any time during the year, Centrelink will also factor that in. This may happen if you had a change in your family’s circumstances or if your family income estimate was lower than your actual income. 3. Centrelink tells you your outcome Once Centrelink has considered all of these factors, they send you a letter with your outcome. The letter will outline how they’ve worked out your outcome. There are three possible outcomes: A top-up payment you don’t need to do anything else. Centrelink will pay this money to your bank account you’ve given them. No further action you received the correct amount of CCS during the year. An overpayment you may need to take action to pay back any money you owe. If you don’t set up a payment plan or pay the money back in full by the due date, Centrelink may reduce your future CCS to pay off the debt. Centrelink will work with you to set up a repayment plan you can afford.

02.01.2022 We are so proud to continue to be a sponsor to the Windsor Wolves Rugby League Club in 2020! So happy to meet with the new CEO Mr. Larry Collins and one of the directors Garry on the Season Launch. We re-entered the #RonMasseyCup and #SydneyShieldNSWRLCompetition this year! Looking forward to the new season!

01.01.2022 36 Hours CCS for Preschoolers Parents who do not meet and are not otherwise exempt from the Child Care Subsidy activity test will be entitled to 36 hours of subsidised care per fortnight to support their preschool-aged child to attend a preschool program at a Centre Based Day Care service. A family is entitled to the preschool exemption if:... they are eligible for Child Care Subsidy the parent/s do not meet and are not otherwise exempt from the activity test, meaning their usual entitlement is less than 36 hours of subsidised care per fortnight (0 or 24 hours based on the family’s income) they have a preschool-aged child and that child attends an early educational program at a Centre Based Day Care service. The preschool exemption does not apply to other children in the family who are not preschool-aged. For those children, the family’s usual entitlement will apply. So if you are already entitled to 36 hours or more of CCS per fortnight, you don't need to change anything for this purpose. If you have decided that your child is going to primary school in February 2021, and you only have 0 or 24 hours of CCS, you can provide the expected date of starting school when you make a CCS claim or update your details in myGov, then let us know so we can update your child's detail accordingly in our system. Captain Bligh Early Learning Centre is an Approved Centre-Based Centre regulated by the National Laws and Regulations, and we have the best Early Educational Program designed around the EYLF. Our program was assessed as "Exceeding the National Quality Standards". We have qualified Early Childhood Teacher who has got over 17 years of experiences in teaching. So we are an eligible provider for this exemption purpose.
