If I have made a payment from my own pocket for an incidental expense before 1 May 2025, but the items or services are used after this date, can I seek reimbursement from the Child Development Account (CDA) funds?

Question

Accepted Answer

The expansion of CDA usage to cover more incidental charges incurred at Baby Bonus approved preschools is effective from 1 May 2025.

CDA cannot be used for newly-approved incidental charges (e.g. enrichment programmes) at Baby Bonus approved preschools if they were charged before 1 May 2025, even if the items or services are used after this date.
