Can parents fall out of eligibility for funded hours?

Question:
Can parents fall out of eligibility for funded hours?
Answer:
  • Think2 – funding for 2 year olds - for disadvantaged or low income families. Once eligibility is confirmed families do not lose funding and will receive this be seamlessly until the child becomes eligible for the Universal Hours for 3 and 4 year olds.

  • Universal Hours for 3 and 4 year olds – all 3 and 4 year olds are entitled to this funding and families do not lose funding. 
  • Working Parent Entitlements – from 2 year to 4 years – if parents fall out of eligibility, they could lose funding. Parents must reconfirm their eligibility through *Childcare Choices every 3 months. Also see section for Grace Periods.
    • Parents of 3 and 4 year olds who are eligible will have access to 30 hours of funded childcare. Families who fall out of eligibility for the working parent entitlements will still have access to the Universal Hours.
    • *Foster Cares will be prompted to reconfirm by the Council
