Priority of
Access under DEEWR
Priority of access will be
given to;
Where the
demand for child care exceeds the available Child Care
Benefit (CCB) places, the 'Family Assistant' legislation
requires that services who are 'approved' for CCB allocate
those places to families with the greatest need for child
care.
The
priority order is as follows:
-
First
priority - A child at risk of serious abuse or neglect.
-
Second
priority - A child of a single parent who satisfies, or
of both parents who both satisfy the work/training/study
test under section 14 of the Family Assistance Act.
-
Third
priority - Any other child.
Within
these main categories priority should also be given to the
following children:
-
Children in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander
families
-
Children in families which include a disables person
-
Children in families which include an individual whose
adjusted taxable income does not exceed the lower income
threshold of $37,960 for 2009-2010, or who or whose
partner are on income support.
-
Children in families with a non-English speaking
background
-
Children in socially isolated families
-
Children of single parents
There are
some circumstance in which a child who is already in a child
care service may be required to leave the service.
When a
service has no vacant places and is providing child care for
a child who is a Priority 3 under the Priority of Access
Guidelines, the service may require that child to leave the
child care service in order for the service to provide a
place for a higher priority child, but only if:
-
The
person who is liable to pay child care fees in respect
of the child was notified when the child first occupied
the child care place that the service followed this
policy and
-
The
service gives that person at least 14 days notice of the
requirement for the child to leave the child care
service.
