Child Care Subsidy and accepting the Complying Written Agreement
CCS is a subsidy provided by Department of Human Services (Family Assistance Office (FAO)) to parents of children in approved care. School Holiday Program is an approved service where CCS is applicable.
Parents are required to contact the Department of Human Services - Family Assistance Office to obtain a Customer Reference Number (CRN) for each child and parent, prior to completing the School Holiday Program enrolment form.
Before you can receive the Child Care Subsidy (CCS), you will need to login to your Xplor account in a Google chrome web browser and accept the Complying Written Arrangement (CWA) which will then send your child’s bookings to your MyGov app for approval through Centrelink so that the CCS can be applied.
Families new to the School Holiday Program will receive an email to create a password for their Xplor account with step-by-step instructions on how to accept the CWA in your booking confirmation email.
Families who have used the Program in January will still have access to their Xplor account and will need to accept the new CWA from a Google chrome web browser before starting the program to ensure you receive the CCS.
