I believe it's $1 per hour.
Legislation has recently changed (and by recently, I mean in the past week). There are changes coming in which will limit the amount of jet payable (both hours and $$$). I'm not sure when it comes in but I have heard (haven't confirmed) that it will be capped in terms of hourly rate. Previously it was automatically reduced to a dollar an hour, no matter how much the child care charged. Now I believe it is going to be a dollar an hour unless your child care charges more than $9 an hour. Anything above that you will pay extra (so if it is $10 an hour, you pay $2)
What is JET paid for?
JET is additional fee help for childcare for parents on income support who are undertaking approved activities (study, starting a new job etc).

Sorry to hijack thread but just wondering if anyone knows how long it takes to be applied? I submitted all my paperwork over a week ago and haven't heard anything. Not even an online letter?
I applied on the 29th of August and my application was approved yesterday . I called today as I cousins see anything on the app , but I was told that they hasn't sent an online letter only post letter so I wouldn't have known until the letter arrived in the post .
It really depends how many claims are lodged at any given time. Usually three weeks would be normal for this kind of claim during non-peak times (start of semester can blow out the number of claims quite a bit):
Ok great thanks ☺
