  1. Our daughter only goes one day a week but at $90 per day that’s about $500 we’re getting back every quarter. It’s a big help and we really appreciate it. Thanks Aussie government 🙂

  2. We love day care here! And we’ve done the rebate thing right from the start. They pay direct to the day care and we pay the difference… which is so affordable.
    Meanwhile, I never pick up coins that I find, I remember reading that someone’s grandma told them to leave them for little kids to find – they get way more enjoyment out of it than I do! <3

  3. I was excited when i heard about it, but apparently because hubby works and I dont (besides being a SAHM) it means we are not eligible. I put out Miss 3 in one day a week at a cost of $70 a week, with bub number two due any day. It would be nice if they considered those who chose to raise kids instead of return to the workforce.

      • How do you go about claiming the kinder fees? I use both daycare, and before and after school care as well as 4 year old kinder and all providers have my CRN details so wonder if its already applied……..

        • I am no expert, but I just went to Medicare and they gave me a form – I thought they’d have all my details already, but the woman there said I need to put a new form in with every claim. So I’m just waiting now to see if I did the right thing and if we get our rebate.

          My preschool told me what we were entitled to, and then I just went into Medicare to check {with the receipt} and asked them too.

  4. maybe if the info was easier to understand more people would know what they are entitled to…..I like to think myself pretty well educated and reading the family assistance website etc… baffles me at times!

    • I’m no good at reading online, on anything financial {tax, rebates, etc} but I just spoke to the director at my preschool and then I went into Medicare/Family Assistance. I got an idea from the website so I kinda knew what I was entitled too, but wanted to figure it out in person.

      • yes it is definltey a good idea to have a little look online to try to get a bit of an understanding and then go in and see someone who can explain things better!
