Understanding Your Invoices & Quarterly Statements


Every 3 months, you may receive a Quarterly Statement.


This is different from your regular Invoice or Statement that you will receive.


What is it?

A summary of your fees over a 3-month period, used for Family Boost claims.


When You’ll Receive It

If enabled, it will be emailed automatically:

  • 1st October 
  • 6th January 
  • 1st April 
  • 1st July 

Please allow up to 72 hours from the listed dates before contacting your service/ Discover if you have not yet received your statement.

Please Note: Due to the high volume of emails being sent simultaneously, delivery may take up to three days.

These dates may change when they coincide with a Statutory Holiday. We will advise the Services if this is going to occur.


What It Includes

Your Quarterly Statement shows:

  • Your child’s name 
  • The statement period (3 months) 
  • A summary of invoices for the 3 month period 
  • Any discounts or subsidies applied 
  • Your total eligible amount for Family Boost 


Important to Know

This is where most confusion happens:

The statement is based on when invoices were created,
not when care happened.

Example:

  • If an invoice is created in January 
  • Even if care was in December

Also Import to Note:

The Quarterly Statement does not consider payments made by parents.
  • It reflects invoiced amounts only, based on invoice creation dates.
  • Understanding this will help ensure your totals reconcile correctly.

 

Why Your Total May Look Different

Your Quarterly Statement:

  • Includes fees from that 3-month period 
  • Minus any discounts or subsidies 

Please note this statement does not include:

  • Payments you have made
  • Donations
  • Credit balance write-offs
  • Invoices for non-care related items (e.g. child progress books)
  • Any previous balances

Simple Formula

Your total is:

Fees – Discounts = Your Claimable Amount


If you want to check your Quarterly Statement, what do you do?

  • Gather all statements/invoices issued during the 3‑month period
  • Add together the invoiced amounts based on the generation date 
    • From the first day of the quarter to the last day of the quarter
  • Subtract any credits or discounts

The final total should match the Quarterly Statement – Net Fees Amount.


Doesn’t match?

Please contact your service for assistance.
