Community Child Care Fund (CCCF) Special Circumstances Victorian Recovery Payment Guidelines 2020
The Victorian Recovery Payment (‘Recovery Payment’) will be provided to all eligible Victorian services and includes additional support for Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) services. The payment is in response to the restrictions faced by the Victorian Early Education and Care (ECEC) sector and acknowledges they have a different recovery trajectory compared to services elsewhere in Australia.
Eligible services do not need to apply. Services will be sent a grant offer via DocuSign.
Providers that do not wish to receive the grant are encouraged to decline the offer by selecting “Other Actions” and “Decline to Sign”.
To be eligible to receive the Recovery Payment in respect of a service:
-
the provider must be an approved provider under the family assistance law, and be approved in respect of the service;
-
the service must be located in Victoria;
-
the service must remain open and continue to provide child care (unless the service has been directed to close by a relevant Commonwealth, state or territory government authority or health agency);
-
the provider’s approval has not been cancelled or varied under paragraphs 195H(1)(b) or (d), respectively, of the Family Assistance Administration Act, including where the decision is suspended or stayed by the operation of law, including by order of a tribunal or court; and
- the provider has complied with any applicable obligations under section 2.4 in relation to becoming a participating institution in the National Redress Scheme for Institutional Child Sexual Abuse.
28 September 2020 to
