Your child starts or stops receiving 20 Hours ECE
If your child starts or stops receiving 20 Hours Early Childhood Education (ECE), you need to tell us straight away as it can affect how much childcare we pay.
You can only get Childcare Subsidy for the same hours you're getting 20 Hours Early Childhood Education (ECE) if:
- your child is at a home-based educator, and
- the home-based educator is charging a top up payment for the same hours as 20 Hours ECE.
Home-based educators may charge you a top up payment to cover the difference between their normal hourly rate and the 20 Hours ECE.
How to tell us
- Complete the Childcare Assistance - Change of circumstances form (you'll need to complete a form for each child)
- Get your childcare provider to sign the form.
- If you or your partner are studying, your education provider will also need to sign it.
- Log in to Connect and upload your form and documents.
