CHILDCARE REBATE ACT 1993 No. 112 of 1993 - SECT 41

41.(1) A claimant's weekly child care expenditure for a week during which
child care to which a claim relates was provided is:

   (a)  if the child care was provided to only one dependent child-the amount
        of child care expenditure for the week worked out under subsections
        (2) and (3) in relation to the child; or

   (b)  if the child care was provided to more than one dependent child-the
        sum of the amounts of child care expenditure for the week worked out
        under subsections (2) and (3) in relation to each of the children.

(2) The amount of child care expenditure for the week in relation to a child
is:

   (a)  if all of the child care to which the claim relates was provided in
        that week-the amount specified in the claim as the amount paid to one
        or more registered carers for providing the child care; or

   (b)  if it was provided in more than one week-the amount worked out using
        the formula in subsection (3).

(3) The formula is as follows:
         Amount paid          X     Period of care in the week

Total period of care where:

"Amount paid" is the amount specified in the claim as the amount paid to one
or more registered carers for providing the child care;

"Total period of care" means the number of days in the period starting at the
beginning of the first day on which that child care was provided and ending on
the last day on which it was provided (whether or not the child care was
provided on each of the days during the period);

"Period of care in the week" means the number of the days in that period that
occurred during the week in question.
