If you’ve already submitted a claim for Child Care Subsidy, you may still need to confirm your child’s enrolment details.
If you need to do this, it will appear as an outstanding task in your Centrelink online account in myGov. You can confirm your enrolment once your claim is approved.
If we receive your enrolment before you claim Child Care Subsidy, you can confirm the enrolment details as part of your claim.
We’ll cancel your enrolment details in our system if your child has not attended child care for 14 continuous weeks. If we do this, we’ll stop paying your subsidy. Read more about if we cancel your enrolment details.
If your child attends the service again in the future, your provider will need to resubmit your child’s enrolment details. When they’ve done this, you’ll need to confirm your child’s enrolment online. If the details are wrong or missing, you need to ask your provider to send this information to us. When they’ve given us these details, you need to confirm them online.
We can only pay Child Care Subsidy to your child care provider if you’ve confirmed these details.

Select My Family, followed by Child care, and Enrolments.
Step 2: view and confirm your child’s details
On the Child Care Subsidy Enrolments page you can view your child’s enrolment details. Under Enrolment status you can see if you've confirmed the details.

If all the details are correct, read the declaration. If you understand and accept the declaration, select I accept this declaration, then Submit.
