Reminder of end of financial year deadlines for families - CCS
At the end of each financial year, Services Australia reconciles family payments, including Child Care Subsidy (CCS). This is to ensure families receive the correct amount of assistance for the year. Families need to confirm their income after the end of each financial year for this to occur. This process is called balancing. The balancing process is a matter between families and Services Australia, however we are asked to remind families to confirm your income before the deadline.
Please see the below information we have been asked to pass on.
2019–20 financial year
Most families confirmed their 2019–20 income before the first deadline on 30 June 2021. Families who haven’t confirmed their 2019–20 income must do so by 30 June 2022.
If they don’t, they may need to pay back all the CCS they got for 2019–20.
More information about debts is available on Services Australia’s website.
They will also lose their CCS and Additional Child Care Subsidy (ACCS) eligibility from the first CCS fortnight of the 2022–23 financial year.
2020–21 financial year
All families must confirm their 2020–21 income before the first deadline on 30 June 2022. If they don’t, their CCS will stop. This means they’ll need to pay full fees when they use child care. Services Australia can start a family’s CCS again, but only after they’ve confirmed their income. This means families may miss out on CCS.
If you have any questions, please visit the Services Australia website.
