Child's caregiver also cares for a child receiving Child Disability Allowance

Childcare Subsidy may be paid for up to 50 hours per week when the eligible child's principal caregiver also cares for a child:

• for whom a Child Disability Allowance is paid

This includes a principal temporary caregiver of a child for whom Orphans Benefit or Unsupported Childs Benefit is paid.

The subsidy will cease when:

• that other dependent child can no longer receive Child Disability Allowance or
• the eligible child turns 5 years of age or
• up to 4 weeks after the eligible child turns 5 years old and not yet attending school or
• the qualifications are no longer met

whichever is the earliest.

Note the client and their partner (if any) do not need any further reason why they are not able to care for the eligible child.
