Working from home is paid work, so it counts.\n- Plan FAQ \"Does WFH count for the activity test? Yes\" is answered accurately: the activity test was replaced on 5 January 2026, and WFH hours count as paid work towards the 48-hour threshold for 100 hours.\n- Lead facts: open 7:00am to 6:00pm weekdays; casual days offered when places allow (page 32 facts). Illustrative weekly plans are labelled examples.\n===================================================================\n-->\n<link rel=\"preconnect\" href=\"https:\/\/fonts.googleapis.com\">\n<link

Since 5 January 2026, every CCS-eligible family gets at least 72 hours of subsidised care a fortnight, about three days a week, regardless of how much they work. Where each parent has more than 48 hours of recognised activity a fortnight, children can get up to 100 hours.<\/p>\n      <p>Your WFH hours count towards the 48 hours, exactly like office hours.<\/p>\n      <p>There is no rule against using care on days you work from home, because the subsidy depends on the hours you work, not where you work them.<\/p>\n      <p>Report your work hours accurately to Services Australia, whether at home or in an office.<\/p>\n      <p>The Department of Education explains the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.education.gov.au\/early-childhood\/providers\/child-care-subsidy\/3-day-guarantee\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">3 Day Guarantee<\/a>.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"stack\">\n      <div class=\"side card\">\n        <p class=\"side-h\">Subsidised hours<\/p>\n        <dl class=\"facts\">\n          <dt>All eligible<\/dt><dd>72 hrs a fortnight<\/dd>\n          <dt>48+ hrs activity<\/dt><dd>100 hrs a fortnight<\/dd>\n          <dt>WFH<\/dt><dd>Counts as work<\/dd>\n        <\/dl>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"fill art a-y\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/stagingloom.com\/elc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/lead-elc-art-flower.webp\" alt=\"A child's drawing of a flower\" width=\"500\" height=\"509\" loading=\"lazy\"><span class=\"tag\">Home work is work<\/span><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<!-- ============ H2 2 ============ -->\n<section class=\"sec why\">\n  <div class=\"wrap\">\n    <span class=\"kick\">Reality<\/span>\n    <h2>Why toddlers and meetings do not mix<\/h2>\n    <p class=\"lead-p\" style=\"max-width:880px;\">Toddlers need attention, conversation and play, often at exactly the moment a call starts. Trying to do focused work while caring for a young child usually means doing both badly: the child is parked in front of a screen, and the work is constantly interrupted. That is stressful for parents and not great for children either.<\/p>\n    <div style=\"max-width:880px;\">\n      <p>Young children cannot entertain themselves safely for long stretches.<\/p>\n      <p>Long screen time to cover work hours goes against Australian guidelines for under-fives.<\/p>\n      <p>Children notice when a parent is present but distracted, and often push harder for attention.<\/p>\n      <p>Using childcare while working from home gives your child a day built around them, and gives you the uninterrupted hours your job needs.<\/p>\n      <p>Babies can be easier to work around than toddlers, because they nap more and move less. The juggle usually gets harder, not easier, between about one and three.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<!-- ============ H2 3 ============ -->\n<section class=\"sec\" id=\"lelc-wfh-plan\">\n  <div class=\"wrap\">\n    <span class=\"kick\">Planning<\/span>\n    <h2>Choosing days that match your meeting load<\/h2>\n    <p class=\"lead-p\" style=\"max-width:880px;\">If you use care part time, choose care days to match your heaviest work days: the days with back-to-back meetings, deadlines or client calls.

Building a 15 minute buffer between your last task and leaving helps you switch off from work and arrive ready to connect with your child.<\/p>\n    <div style=\"max-width:880px;\">\n      <p>Block out the buffer in your calendar so meetings cannot fill it.

It helps to remember what your child gains: a full day of play, friends, educators focused on them, and a program designed for their age. Meanwhile you get to work properly, and your time together after care can be focused and relaxed.<\/p>\n      <p>Care days are not time away from your child. They are time well spent for both of you.<\/p>\n      <p>Children in good care benefit socially and developmentally.<\/p>\n      <p>A distracted day at home together is often harder on both of you than a care day.<\/p>\n      <p>If guilt persists, talk to other parents.

If you are home but your child is at care some days, keep a clear, consistent pattern, and explain it simply. A visual weekly chart on the fridge, showing care days and home days, helps children understand the rhythm.<\/p>\n    <div style=\"max-width:880px;\">\n      <p>Try to keep the same care days each week, rather than changing them often. Swapping days around makes it harder for your child to predict the week and can unsettle drop-offs.<\/p>\n      <p>On home days when you still need to work, set up a quiet play space and plan work around nap time.<\/p>\n      <p>Avoid your child seeing you at home during a care day, which can be confusing.
