What you need to know

As we move closer towards the new Job for Families Child Care Package rollout, CCS Australia have commenced development work to ensure our Services will have a smooth and easy transition to the new CCSS.

Over the last couple of months, our Directors have participated in numerous Government forums around the technical design and end user impact of the changes for our customers. Our input to Government has resulted in some modifications to the new rollout that will tailor to our customer’s needs.

CCS Australia has commenced the development work around the Jobs for Families changes based on the technical specifications provided by the Government. It is important to understand that the changes reach far beyond the simple consolidation of CCB and CRR to CCS (Child Care Subsidy). There are changes to how CCMS enrolments work, changes to how you manage personnel authorities and changes to things parents will need to do in authorising bookings to gain subsidies amongst other things.

Rest assures, you are in good hands, as we have everything covered t ensure the transition will be smooth and easy for your Service. We are excited to showcase the new technology to you. We pride ourselves on our customer support so expect to see many tutorials and videos to clearly explain every new feature and to guide you every step of the way.
