Can I get Child Care Benefit?

You can get Child Care Benefit if:

you have a child in your care who meets the immunisation requirements
you or your partner (if you have one) meet residency requirements
your child attends approved or registered care and you have the liability to pay for the cost of your child care
you meet the income test

Please note: If your employer contributes towards some or all of your child care costs through salary sacrificing or salary packaging, you will need to determine who has the liability for the costs. The issue of liability depends on who is obligated to pay for the child care fees.
