Data collection and payment cycle
Core quarterly enrolment data submission cycle (all Partner Services)
Partner Services follow a quarterly cycle for enrolment reporting and per capita funding payments. Services will receive reminder emails in the lead up to the submission due dates.
Partner Services will be paid per capita funding quarterly, based on enrolment data. For their very first quarter of operation, the funding amount paid will be an upfront estimation that is reconciles to the first quarter's actual enrolments and adjusted in the payment made in April for quarter 2. For every other quarter, funding will be based on actual enrolments as at a reference period in the prior quarter, as outlined below. This is subject to the OECD receiving appropriate and timely enrolment information from the Partner Service.
Quarter | Payment Date | Key data collection point | Reference period | Submission due |
|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | January | Term 4 confirmed enrolments | Weeks 2–3 of Term 4 (Oct) | End of Week 4 of Term 4 |
2 | April | Term 1 confirmed enrolments | Weeks 2–3 of Term 1 (Feb) | End of Week 4 of Term 1 |
3 | July | Term 2 confirmed enrolments | Weeks 2-3 of Term 2 (May) | End of Week 4 of Term 3 |
4 | October | Term 3 confirmed enrolments | Weeks 2-3 of Term 3 (July-Aug) | End of Week 4 of Term 4 |
Payments will be made to Providers by the end of each of the payment months.
