Rachel is a customer who has 3 children under school age - Zac, Callum and Jane. They attend ABC FDC every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

Rachel is also self-employed as a FDC educator with ZZZ FDC Service and cares for other children in the family home on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Rachel is not eligible to receive CCS or ACCS for Zac, Callum and Jane who attend ABC FDC on Tuesdays and Thursdays due to working on these days as a FDC educator.

Rachel is eligible to receive CCS or ACCS for Zac, Callum and Jane:

• if they were to attend MMM Long Day Care service on Tuesdays and Thursdays, or
• to attend ABC FDC on Wednesdays when Rachel is not providing care as a FDC educator herself

There are specified circumstances where Rachel may continue to be eligible for one or more biological children on Tuesdays and Thursdays, such as a child having a particular disability.
