Initial Allowable Absence Days
The Child Care Subsidy provides 42 allowable absence days per financial year. Absence days can be used for the days your child would normally attend care and receive CCS. Reasons may include: public holidays, family vacation, sick days. For the initial 42 absence days, evidence does not need to be provided.
Additional Absence Days
For the 2022-23 financial year, you can get 10 extra allowable absences bringing the total number of absence days to 52.

Additional Absence days require supporting document to be submitted by the family (i.e. medical certificates) and will need to be submitted to Centerlink by the service.
