What records do I need with active funding?

Keep your funding decision letter and every invoice/receipt for services paid from it — reconciliation and renewals depend on them.

You have core funding

A plain-language explanation of this stage and the next steps available to your family.

What this means

Your child has active core clinical funding — a real milestone after a long wait. The focus now shifts to using the funding well, keeping the records that renewals and reconciliation require, and planning ahead. Keep every invoice and decision letter, and note when your funding period ends so you’re not caught by a renewal deadline.

What to ask AccessOAP, say it or paste it

Can you confirm in writing my funding amount, the period it covers, and what I need to do to renew before it ends?

What to record

Your funding agreement / decision letter
Every service invoice and receipt
The renewal date

Supports that may apply

Ask about additional programs (for example, Entry to School) your child may be eligible for.

What not to rely on

“Funding renews automatically.”: Confirm the renewal process and dates in writing so a deadline doesn’t interrupt services.

If you need to escalate

Ask AccessOAP, in writing — The first move for almost any OAP problem: a written status request.
Provider regulatory college — For a concern about a regulated professional’s conduct.
