QikKids and CCR

QikKids is now operational in processing CCR via CCMS, with clients submitting attendances through CCMS successfully and having CCR applied to parents accounts in QikKids. The feedback from clients is that the tools developed to manage CCR are great and easy to use without services having to make any changes to their existing processes.


From the information we have received from clients, it appears that around 10% of parents have nominated for their CCR payment to be made through their Child Care service, with other parents leaving for the default payment methods as per previous years.


For existing QikKids customers, over 1,500 people attended webinar sessions on these recent changes run by our Training team to learn more about how CCR is applied and the associated DEEWR rules relating to this process.  We thank those who attended these sessions and look forward to providing further educational sessions as a part of our commitment to client training.


For further information on these changes and more on QikKids, contact us on 1300367770.
