The income limits are on the website, and it depends on how many kids you have (even if all aren't in daycare/childcare).

The 9 hours like you say is for people who don't work just to give them a little bit of time off, but if you do work no you don't get that 9 hours + whatever the time you are actually working.]]> Sun, 06 Dec 2009 20:20:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30157&PID=862472&title=chidcare-subsidy-prob-stupid-question#862472 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30157&PID=853478&title=chidcare-subsidy-prob-stupid-question#853478 Author: emz

KA I meant need the care as in you can't do what you do without it. Trust me I'd love to not work and have Jack in care, but I think as a mother you manage without, its just a nice bonus having some free time I would imagine.

Oh and bugger but I guess it doesn't really matter because as of Feb we prob won't qualify for anything anyway as I'll be working full time.]]> Fri, 27 Nov 2009 14:05:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30157&PID=853478&title=chidcare-subsidy-prob-stupid-question#853478 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30157&PID=853346&title=chidcare-subsidy-prob-stupid-question#853346 Author: ElfsMum

If you work full time do you get 40 hours subsidised or is it income tested?]]> Fri, 27 Nov 2009 11:43:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30157&PID=853294&title=chidcare-subsidy-prob-stupid-question#853294 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30157&PID=852527&title=chidcare-subsidy-prob-stupid-question#852527 Author: ElfsMum

yeah in short no. the only way to get more is having a disabled child but that is a little more complex..so it's 40 (or however many you get for working) or 9.

and I do 'need the care' even though i don't work...but i know what you mean:) ]]> Thu, 26 Nov 2009 17:49:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30157&PID=852527&title=chidcare-subsidy-prob-stupid-question#852527 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30157&PID=852388&title=chidcare-subsidy-prob-stupid-question#852388 Author: lilfatty

So I was thinking, you can not work at all (well other than being a SAHM but YKWIM) and get 9 hours subsidised, so does that mean if you do work can you get the 9 hours on top of other hours you're subsidised for?

I get 12 hours a week (which I work all of) so theoretically we only get 3 hours more than someone who doesn't actually need the care. Does anyone know if I can actually apply for more or am I dreaming in thinking that it doesn't make much sense to me to basically lose that 9 hours when Jack I'd love to be able to put them in 2 full days instead of part days and not have to panic about never getting my work finished etc.]]> Thu, 26 Nov 2009 14:13:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=30157&PID=852266&title=chidcare-subsidy-prob-stupid-question#852266
