A Centrelink error has resulted in childcare subsidies be paid directly into private bank accounts, rather than to providers.

Lump-sum payments of up to $10,000 are reportedly being used by people to buy clothes, a television, an exotic pet and on poker machines as a result of the

glitch. Some child care centres are waiting up to 12 weeks to be paid and are providing free care to children, until the federal government subsidies are received.
