The Department of Education released documents concerning a compliance audit of the North Metro Family Day Care Scheme, a state-based child care provider in South Australia. The disclosure includes correspondence from March-May 2024 in which the department issued a formal audit notice under the Family Assistance Administration Act, requesting information about the provider's administration of Child Care Subsidy and compliance with requirements that parents pay gap fees via electronic funds transfer. While the substance of the audit findings and responses was heavily redacted under privacy and secrecy legislation provisions, the released letter outlines the department's compliance enforcement framework, noting that approved providers must meet obligations under both Commonwealth Family Assistance Law and state-based National Law and Regulations. The department warned that non-compliance may result in infringement notices, conditional approvals, reduced child care place allocations, or payment suspensions, and indicated ongoing monitoring of the service including the possibility of future audits.
