Fee Discount - Discount by Code

Fee Discount - Discount by Code


Providers can offer discounted rate for Families as a promotion to increase enrolments or for early bookings for e.g. Vacation Care.


Find out more about here Managing other third-party payments & discounts.


How the Fee Discount works:

  • Is a non-prescribed discount
  • Is applied before CCS calculation so will reduce a Families CCS payment
  • Will reduce a family’s CCS entitlement


You must deduct the contribution from the total session fee before you report the discount. The family’s CCS percentage will then be applied to the reduced session fee.


Scenario


Amy has enrolled her child Tracey to the Service.

CCS% of 60%, and normal Gap would be $100.00.

As this is a Fee Discount, you need to reduce the Total Session/Fee of $100.00 before reporting.

Before the Discount is applied CCS would be $60, and the Gap would be $40, after the Discount is applied the Fee reported will be $90, CCS paid will be $54 and new Gap $36.
