The ‘Add child to CCS’ claim option is available but a full CCS claim also needs to be lodged:

Staff or customers may attempt to add multiple children but not all meet the criteria for the shortened claim option. If this occurs, the introductory page will only list the eligible children for selection.

In these cases, a full CCS claim needs to be lodged for the children that are not selectable for a shortened claim.

There is an information alert on the page that states “If you have other children that are not shown above who you want to add to Child Care Subsidy, you will need to complete a full Child Care Subsidy claim”. Selecting the hyperlink will navigate the user to the Families streaming questions. Completing this will then launch a full CCS claim.
