Business Management Software for Australian Childcare Centres

"CCS compliance, educator ratios, parent invoicing — one platform."

Australian childcare centres operate under strict regulatory frameworks — CCS, National Quality Framework, Children's Services Award — while managing parent relationships, educator payroll, and centre finances. XIntelliSync consolidates the business operations into one platform.

Childcare Centre Pain Points

The operational challenges Australian childcare centres face:

  • Parent invoicing with CCS gap fee calculations requires careful tracking of subsidy amounts per family
  • Educator payroll under the Children's Services Award includes classification levels, penalties, and qualification allowances
  • Centre financial management — fee income, government subsidies, operating costs — often spans multiple systems
  • Compliance obligations across CCS, NQF, and Fair Work create significant administrative workload

How XIntelliSync Addresses Childcare Workflows

XIntelliSync brings childcare business operations together:

  • Parent invoicing with automated fee calculation and payment follow-ups
  • Educator payroll preparation with Children's Services Award interpretation
  • Financial management: fee income, subsidies, and operating costs in one view
  • CRM for parent communications, enrolment tracking, and waitlist management
  • AI agents automate invoicing, payment reminders, and financial reporting

Compliance for Childcare Centres

Childcare centres in Australia must comply with:

  • Child Care Subsidy System (CCSS): session reporting and subsidy tracking
  • National Quality Framework (NQF): quality standards and assessment ratings
  • BAS: GST-free childcare fees, GST on ancillary services, PAYG withholding
  • STP Phase 2: educator payroll with classification-based income types
  • Superannuation: 12% SGC for all employed educators
  • Fair Work: Children's Services Award for pay rates, ratios, and conditions

Common Questions

Does XIntelliSync handle Child Care Subsidy (CCS) tracking?

XIntelliSync tracks fee structures and subsidy amounts per family to assist with financial management. CCS claims and session reporting must be submitted via the Child Care Subsidy System (CCSS) administered by the Department of Education.

Yes. XIntelliSync prepares payroll with Modern Award interpretation assistance for the Children's Services Award. This includes classification levels, early/late shift penalties, and qualification-based pay rates. STP Phase 2 reports are prepared for ATO lodgement.

Does XIntelliSync track educator-to-child ratios?

XIntelliSync can track staffing levels and scheduling. Educator-to-child ratio compliance is a regulatory obligation under the National Quality Framework — centres should verify ratios against their service approval and the Education and Care Services National Regulations.
