Hi There,
Just wondering what other people experiences were in applying for the childcare subsidy? I applied 3 weeks ago and it is still being processed and WINZ are unable to give me any word as to when it will be processed. I would have thought it would have been processed long ago and in the meantime I have to pay the full price - sure will be nice to be in credit when it finally is processed though! |

| Kandice - yep I got all my papers in and have rung 3 times (once a week lol) and they are still processing. Unfortunately I have to pay the full price untill the subsidy comes through but once it does my account will be credited. So so far its been 3 weeks since I took all my docs in :) My advice is get in real quick cos they take 4eva! |

| I think ours took about a month. I would pay right at the very end of each weeks to give it the most time to come through lol |

| omigosh just rang WINZ for the 100th time - they just told me that they have lost my application. They have all of the supporting docs but no form!!! So now I have to fill in another one and start all over - I am so very pissed off as it has taken more than 3 weeks already and now it is goingto take even longer! So annoying! |
