The hours of subsidised care you can get per fortnight depends on the hours of recognised activities you do. If you have a partner, we’ll look at both of your activity levels. Find out how your activity level affects Child Care Subsidy.
You may also need to update your income estimate for Child Care Subsidy. We have an online guide to help you.
