TICAedu MEMBERSHIP INFORMATION

If you have a parent/guardian owing fee's, there is a high risk that they may enroll with another childcare provider and leave you with monies owed. Parents/guardians who owe money can be reported as soon as a debt is incurred.

The majority of childcare providers are currently accepting new enrolments, without knowing the debt history of the parent/guardian.

Tracking a debtor can be a costly exercise to the childcare provider before the provider decides to use a debt collection agency.

Some debtors when tracked down by the childcare provider, are likely to enter into a payment plan and pay a minimum amount even if their debt runs into thousands of dollars and then move on to another provider.

TICAedu is your very own National Childcare Risk Management System for Debt Prevention, Protection and Recovery designed for the Australian childcare industry. You can add your debtors and check new enrolling parent/guardians. Help unite all childcare providers, by working together to prevent childcare debt from growing and contribute to the sustainability of the industries standards.

By adding non-paying parents to TICAedu National Childcare Risk Management System, those parents maybe hindered from utilising other childcare provider’s services. The non-paying parent may need to pay their overdue account at your childcare service first, before another childcare provider accepts their enrolment.
