Recover essential costs at your setting

You can claim back for one (1) portion of formula milk per child per day that they are in your care. This is the equivalent to a single 189ml portion, which equates to 6.39 fluid ounces. 

For example:

  • If child 1 attends 10 days in January,
  • child 2 attends 5 days, and
  • child 3 attends 10 days in the same month,
    you can claim back a total of 25 portions.
