Jobs for Families

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.

Nutrition Compliance

The Australian Government has released a National Nutritional Guideline book to help educate child care services of what they need to be serving children on a daily basis. As little as 5% of services nation-wide currently adhere to the guidelines. A program has been developed by researchers to assist services with this called feedAustralia. The Australian Government reccommends that all services integrate the feedAustralia program into their kitchens by July 2018. Information Sessions are being held nation-wide in January.

Nanny Pilot Programme

CCS Australia has been approved by DSS to participate in the Nanny Pilot Programme. The Australian Government's two year Nanny Pilot Programme will provide subsidised care for children to help participating families with the cost of using a nanny. It will support families who struggle to access child care services, particularly if they work non-standard hours, or live in regional or remote areas or away from existing child care.

The pilot program formally commenced in early 2016 when service providers began matching nannies to participating families. The start date for a nanny will depend on each families requirements, and when a suitable nanny is available.

The pilot programme will run until 31 December 2017. An independent evaluation will take place throughout the pilot to help the Government develop future policy for care provided in the family home.

Parents want and need regular, accurate information from their childcare provider. More and more parents want to pay online, check their schedules, make bookings and share information. With CCS Australia parents can do this from their mobile phone, from work, or at home in the evening. No losing information sheets, no printing hell, no wondering whether parents have the latest policies. It's all there for parents to see.

With QA a big issue now, sharing information online with your parents helps you fulfill your QA and gives families the communication that they need.
