Assessing travel time

Travel time can be included in the assessment of OSCAR Subsidy.

Calculate the client's travel time from:

• the time the child is dropped off at the centre and the time the client arrives at work and
• the time the client departs work and the time the client picks up the child

If the client has work obligations you can calculate the client's travel time from:

• the time the child is dropped off at the centre and the time the client arrives at their employment related training (or an activity included in an existing Job Seeker Agreement) and
• the time the client departs the employment related training (or an activity included in an existing Job Seeker Agreement) and the time the client picks up the child

Note the hours of travel included in the assessment of OSCAR Subsidy must not be more than the maximum of hours the client qualifies for.
