The Australian Government has announced its extension of the Early Childhood Education and Care Relief Package (Relief Package) an the return to Child Care Subsidy (CCS) and the Additional Child Care Subsidy (ACCS) payments.
The Relief package will be extended until 12th of July, in line with the start of the 2020/21 CCS financial year.
From the 13th of July CCS and ACCS will re-commence and from this date, families will be billed for their OSHC bookings at ASC/BSC/VAC.
The CCS activity test requirements will be eased for 12 weeks from 13 July 2020 to 4 October 2020 for families impacted by COVID-19, who can no longer access the same number of hours as before. During this period, impacted families will be able to access up to 100 hours per fortnight of subsidised care.
This will assist families to return to the level of work, study or training they were doing before the COVID-19 crisis, or to do more than before.
From 13 July 2020, families will need to update their activity levels to access the 100 hours. This can be done in your Centrelink online account through MYGOV or the Express Plus Centrelink mobile app.
We ask all families to pay the current amount owing to your account before you are required to pay for access to Brighton PS OSHC again.
Thanks.
