The Inclusion Support Program (ISP) continued to operate during the COVID-19 period, supporting services to enrol children with additional needs.
With the return to the CCS, the claiming process has returned to the pre-Relief Package arrangements.
- For care provided during the Relief Package (6 April 2020 to 12 July 2020), claims for the Inclusion Development Fund (IDF) subsidy are to be submitted as ‘non-face-to-face hours’ for all hours. This will allow claims to be processed without reference to attendance records in Child Care Subsidy System (CCSS).
- For care provided from 13 July 2020, claims for the IDF subsidy are to be submitted as ‘face-to-face hours’ and ‘allowable non-face-to-face hours’, which refers to attendance records in CCSS.
More information on the claim processes is available on the department’s website, or you can email the Inclusion Development Fund Manager.
