CCMS will be introduced into Outside School Hours Care Services during a transition period of 1 July 2008 – 30 June 2009.

The Child Care Management System (CCMS) is a national child care system that will bring child care services online.

The CCMS is designed to assist the government in managing the funding for child care. It will enable the government to better track supply and usage of child care places. CCMS ensures that CCB fee reductions are calculated on your child’s actual use of care.

As a result Camp Australia has obtained CCMS registered software that needs to record child, enrolment and attendance information.

Camp Australia is then required to report this data to the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR) via the internet to allow calculation and payment of Child Care Benefit (CCB) fee reductions on behalf of children in our Service.

Parents/guardians who register with the Family Assistance Office (FAO) for online services will be able to access an online statement via the View child care details of the online services section of the Centrelink website www.centrelink.gov.au. This statement will include details of CCB payments and absences.  

Parents can register for the online service by calling the FAO on 13 61 50 or online at www.familyassist.gov.au.
