CCB Question? Can I still claim it?

[~kellie~]

Currently, my DD is at childcare 3 days a week while I am at work, but when I finish work to have bubs, we’d like to keep her in 1 or 2 days a week as she really enjoys it and I think its good for her.

My question is, how does CCB work if I am not working? Can I still claim it?

everyone is eligible for 24 hours of subsidised care per week - no matter your working status. your eligibility for for child care tax rebate will be dependent on whether you are finishing work entirely, or whether you are on mat leave with a job to return to...

is the rebate the one where you get back 50% of your expenses quarterly? I'm currently contracting so dont get maternity leave
