The Australian Childcare Alliance (ACA) NSW is gauging ACA NSW members whether they have received their Child Care Subsidy (CCS) and Business Continuity Payments (BCP) (under the Early Childhood Education and Care Relief Package) for April 2020.
According to the Federal Department of Education, ACA NSW members (like all early childhood education and care services) should have received the first five of six payments as follows:
| DATE | PAYMENT TYPE |
| 1 April 2020 | CCS Payment for 23-27 March 2020 |
| 8 April 2020 | CCS Payment for 30 March - 3 April 2020 |
| 9 April 2020 | First Business Continuity Payment (Relief Package) for 6-10 April 2020 |
| 16 April 2020 | Double Business Continuity Payments (Relief Package) for 13-18 April 2020 AND 22-26 June 2020 |

| 30 April 2020 | Single Business Continuity Payments (Relief Package) for 27 April - 1 May 2020 |
These "advance" payments can help with services' cashflow during the month of April 2020 while anticipating JobKeeper Payments.

And members are also invited to contact ACA NSW on 1300 556 330 or nsw@childcarealliance.org.au for any further information/clarification.
