2. Search and select the child you wish to view
3. Scroll down to the heading 'Active Additional Child Care Subsidy'

In order to stay on top of expiring determinations, we recommend setting up a reminder in your calendar for expiring applications to ensure that a new certificate/determination is created in time to ensure the account remains accurate.

This will also reduce the need to backdate applications, submit past sessions and balance parent accounts after the fact.

You can use provider level tags to flag parent accounts which have a child/ren with ACCS. This allows you to see at a glance, what account you may need to check on regularly to ensure they stay at $0.00 or a low balance.

You will need to be logged in as the Provider to create Tags. Once created, any admin account with access to the parent accounts tab will be able to allocate tags onto accounts.

Create a Tag

1. Go to Settings > Select Provider Settings > Select Tags > Select Add
2. In this screen input the Tag name, code and colour
3. Select Submit

These will now be visible to all admins through the parent account screen in Office.

Add a Tag to a Parent Account

1. Navigate to the parent account
2. Select the + located under the Tags column
3. Toggle chosen tags on
4. Save

The same process can be used to remove tags from parent accounts also.
