This document outlines the requirements to process information about child care receiver Age Milestone Mandatory reviews for CP (child) and CA (child).

CP (child) and CA (child) reviews

The purpose of CP (child) and CA (child) reviews is to establish and determine:

  • that the care receiver's care needs continue to qualify the carer for payment
  • that the carer continues to provide constant care for CP and care and attention for CA, and
  • if there are any changes in the carer's and/or care receiver's circumstances

To be selected for an Age Milestone Review, carers must be paid CP for a mainstream care receiver under 14 years and 9 months of age.

Where the carer is paid CA for a child, CA will be reviewed at the same time as CP.

An Age Milestone Mandatory review for CP (child) and CA (child) will automatically start when a child care receiver reaches the following developmental milestones:

  • 4 years 8 months
  • 13 years
