At QB we strive to meet the booking needs of our families whilst in adherence to our National Laws and Regulations. Quantin Binnah intakes permanent booking as outlined in our Enrolment Policy. We are continually reviewing our availability for permanent places and managing changes of care on an ongoing basis to maintain compliance for supervision and child to staff ratio across our services. Alternatively, we do open limited casual places each day for parents to book via the parent app.

You can get up to 42 allowable absence days per child each financial year. If you reach your allowable absence limit, you may get additional absences. Please advise us if you have special circumstances for an absence once you have gone over 42 . We may be able to apply for an additional absence on your behalf. You may need to provide us with supporting documents (i.e. Medical Certificate). If your child attends a childcare service in Victoria, you can access 45 extra allowable absence days for a special purpose. In the case of the coronavirus (COVID-19), this means, you can get up to 87 allowable absence days per child for the 2020-21 financial year.

The Child Care Subsidy percentage you’re entitled to depends on your family’s income. Centrelink work out your Child Care Subsidy (CCS) percentage using your family income estimate. Your CCS percentage is the amount subsidised. It will apply to either your hourly fee or the relevant hourly rate cap, whichever is lower. You can still claim this subsidy even if your family income estimate is $353,680 or more. If you actually earn less than this, Centrelink may still pay you any subsidy you’re entitled to. This will be done when Centrelink balance your payments at the end of the financial year. Click here for the Childcare subsidy Calculator:

If your family earns $189,390 or less, you won’t have an annual cap on your subsidy. If your family earns between $189,390 and $353,680 we’ll cap your subsidy. This means Centrelink subsidises your fees up to the annual cap of $10,560 per child each financial year. This is as of 1st of Aug 2021.

Centrelink will withhold 5% of your subsidy. This is to help reduce the likelihood of you getting an overpayment. Centrelink use your family income estimate to work out how much subsidy you’ll get. This means at the end of each financial year they balance your payments using your actual adjusted taxable income. Centrelink will compare this information to make sure they have subsidised your child care fees correctly in the financial year. If you underestimated your family income, you may end up with an overpayment which you’ll need to pay back. Centrelink will use the amount we withheld to help reduce the debt. If you have a CCS overpayment, Centrelink may use some of your CCS each fortnight to pay this back. If you overestimated your family income and didn’t get enough subsidy, Centrelink will pay any outstanding amount directly to you. This will include the amount we withheld.

When a child is absent on their first day of care or their last day of care, Services Australia will not pay their Child Care Subsidy. Under the law, no Child Care Subsidy will be paid for any days after the child’s last physical attendance at the service. If your child does not attend their last booked session of care, no Child Care Subsidy will be paid for that session or any days after the child’s last physical attendance at the service. The Child Care Subsidy that was paid for a childs last day when that last day was an absence will normally be overturned 14 weeks after the last day absence and will then be deemed as an amount owing to Quantin Binnah by you.

To ensure that you continue to receive Child Care Subsidy, you need to you need to confirm your income. If you have a partner, they’ll need to do this too. You can do this in 2 ways: By completing your TAX return Contacting Centrelink directly 13 61 50 You will complete this process before the end of each financial year.
