Child Care Rebate payment options may be updated for the upcoming financial year between April and June. The option parents choose will apply for the next full financial year (July 2013 to June 2014).
Updates to the Child Care Rebate payment choice can be made online at: www.humanservices.gov.au. If parents are unable to use the online service they can call 13 61 50 or go to their nearest Department of Human Services centre (located in Medicare Offices and Centrelink Service Centres).
Parents cannot change their existing Child Care Rebate payment method during the current financial year, unless there are exceptional or unforeseen circumstances.
