It depends on how quickly they are able to get a response from your childcare provider. They won't pay out until they've verified your costs with them

When I changed my childcare took about 4 weeks for the new award notice to come through but the money will not be increased for 4 weeks, so if you are piad 4 weekly in the next pay cycle. I'm pretty sure I was told this is because like HB they pay you in arrears. Also, the other way round...if you were to tell them childcare decreased you get a 4 week run on.
