Dear Parents,
We have distributed a print out with information about CCB and the Childcare rebate. It appears that manyof our families are being given misleading information by their accountants about this rebate. It is NOT means tested and is available to all families where both parents are working ,studying or training to offset the cost of care. Our ElC has registered for this specifically so that parents can claim this government benefit. In order to receive this you must register for Childcare Benefit( but may be given a 0% for a weekly fee discount- depending on your income) , you will then be able to receive the 50% rebate on your fees each quarter paid directly to your bank account. For those families leaving us shortly you may be able to claim this as a lump sum by enquiring with the FAO,
regards
Jeanine
