It was a busy and productive 12 months for Child Care Central team of software developers and customer support. Designing new features, taking on feedback, enhancing the software and lots of testing was achieved.

As Child Care Central CCS Software was the first to be fully web-based, the teams are always working on improvements, security and functionality to create a better user experience.

In 2021, plenty of new software features were released and quickly taken up by our clients and impressed new customers too.
NEW tiles for Dashboard Work Centre included Daily Care, Children In Care, Children and Roll Call.

Our integrated redPAY Payment Gateway for Direct Debit and BPay released the new online Direct Debit Request forms in 2021. This saves so much time for early childhood service providers and school-based care programs from having to follow-up families for their payment forms. Now they can be sent an email with link to complete their bank details securely online.
