As you are aware the government has introduced a new system for reporting attendances and claiming CCB. This system is called CCMS (Child Care Management System) and it is currently being phased in for all Child Care Services by July 2009.

All Services will be required to transition to CCMS as an ongoing condition of CCB funding. It will be compulsory to use a software product which is registered with DEEWR (Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations) for CCMS. SmartFees CCMS was officially registered on 26 September 2007.
