# How To Add A New Provider

### How To Add A New Provider

A provider approved under the family assistance law provides childcare in one or more of its services; the provider receives and passes on child care subsidy payments to eligible families to reduce the cost of childcare.

A provider approved under the family assistance law is responsible for satisfying obligations under both the commonwealth as well as state and territory laws.

For these reasons, it is required to set up a provider correctly in the Xap platform.

| If you are not a CCSS service, you may still set up your service provider using the same details as an organisation or your service.

The below help document demonstrates how to add provider details including uploading logo, managing the provider admins and linking the provider to the CCS PRODA device.
