Welcome to our June Newsletter:
Wow – half way through the year already and gosh it's going so fast.
Winter has certainly arrived and we are seeing lots of cooler days creeping in.
Our early morning opening room is our Senior Toddler 1 classroom – first room to the left as you enter our main play space.
We ask that you please ensure there is a jumper, socks and long shirts/pants available in your child's bag each day in case they need a change of clothes and labelling everything with your child's name is super helpful to our team also.
Class Photos:
School photos are now finished for our service.
We ask that all order forms be returned to reception as soon as possible to ensure you don't miss out.
30 June CCS balancing deadlines approach:
Two important deadlines fall at the end of this month for families, for the balancing of Child Care Subsidy (CCS). If families do not confirm incomes for 2018 - 2019 & 2019 - 2020 income years, you could risk losing your CCS.
Who needs to confirm their family income?
If you got Child Care Subsidy (CCS) for the 2018–19 or 2019–20 financial year, you must confirm your income. Most parents have already done this. If you haven't, do it now.
When you need to confirm income for 2018–19
If you got CCS for 2018–19, we asked you to confirm your income by 31 March 2021. If you still haven't confirmed your family income by 30 June 2021, you may need to pay back all the CCS you got for 2018–19. Your CCS will also cancel from 12 July 2021. You will need to make a new claim if you wish to get a reduced fee again.
When you need to confirm income for 2019–20
If you got CCS for 2019–20, you need to confirm your family income by 30 June 2021. If you don't, your CCS will reduce to 0%. This means you'll need to pay full fees when you access child care. If you confirm your income after 30 June 2020, we can start your CCS again. But if there's a gap between your CCS stopping and you confirming your income, you'll miss out on CCS for that time.
How you confirm your income
Lodge your tax return with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) tell Centrelink you don't need to lodge a tax return and confirm your income online
If you have a partner, they'll need to do this too. If you separated during the year, you will need your ex-partner's income. If you've lodged your tax return, the ATO will send Centrelink your income information. They usually get this within 28 days from when you get your Notice of Assessment.
If you or your partner don't need to lodge a tax return, you need to let Centrelink know. You must do this, even if you've told the ATO that you don't need to lodge. You can do this and confirm your income for the year using either your:
Centrelink online account through myGov
Express Plus Centrelink mobile app.
