A number of NCS applicants have been offered and accepted the opportunity to apply for NCS prior to the 20/11/19. This application process provides the applicant (on a successful completed application) with an actual CHICK which can be used to register when the scheme formally launches with a Service Provider for a childcare subvention.
Applicants are advised when applying:
“By participating now you will not have to reapply again when the Scheme officially launches. Awards cannot be claimed until the scheme formally launches.”
These CHICKS are valid and will be honoured when the scheme formally launches.
