Notifying CCS about Fee Updates or Changes

Notifying CCS about Fee Updates or Changes

All CCSS Approved Services must report their current fees for continued CCS approval. CCSS will then publish this information on the Starting Blocks website.

Under Family Assistance Law, early childhood education and care providers must notify us about a range of matters including fees, vacancies, closures and changes to details.

From 1 September 2024, a change to s55(1) of Child Care Subsidy Minister’s Rules 2017 means that providers must notify CCSS of fees at least twice a year, December and July.

Timeframe:

within 14 days of:

receiving CCS approval (or opening the service if that occurs at a later date)
changing your fees
twice a year – after the end of the financial year and calendar year, including reporting no change in fees.

For further information see: DESE – Reporting Fees

Select the CCSS screen from the left-hand menu.
Select the Vacancy icon.
