How will I receive the payment?
section_content: The payment will be paid into your child care service bank account. This is
the same bank account that Child Care Subsidy is currently paid into.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Discusses how the child care subsidy will be paid, not how to apply for it.
This answer is irrelevant to the question. This information is about payment and bank account and the question is asking about how a person can apply for the subsidy related to childcare.

Answer passage (source: Australia):
page_title: Families
section_headers: Child Care Subsidy and child care
section_content: You won’t need to pay child care fees when you access child care between 6
April and 28 June 2020.
During this time, you should:

enrol or re-enrol your child with a service
keep your child enrolled
continue using child care as you need.

If you need to enrol or re-enrol your child you should talk to your child care
service. You’ll also need to confirm their
enrolment
with us.
If you need to find a child care service, you can use the Child Care
Finder website.
What else you need to know is different if:

you were getting Child Care Subsidy before 6 April 2020
you’re new to child care.

If you were getting Child Care Subsidy before 6 April 2020
You won’t get Child Care Subsidy and Additional Child Care Subsidy during this
time. But you should make sure you stay eligible for Child Care
Subsidy, for example
by:

continuing to care for your child at least 14% of the time
meeting immunisation requirements
telling us if you have a change in your circumstances.

On 29 June 2020, your Child Care Subsidy will start again as long as you stay
eligible. There’s nothing you’ll need to do to start it again.
You should continue to update your family income
estimate as necessary, especially if you get Family Tax Benefit.
Fees before 6 April 2020
Your child care service may waive your out of pocket fees between 23 March and
5 April 2020. You should speak to them about this.
Absences before 6 April 2020
Due to coronavirus, you have 20 extra absences per child for the 2019-20
financial year. This means you can get up to 62 absences this year for any
reason.
Additional Child Care Subsidy (ACCS) Temporary Financial Hardship claims
before 6 April 2020
If you’ve already claimed ACCS Temporary Financial Hardship, we can only pay
it to 5 April 2020.
There’s no need to claim it between 6 April and 28 June 2020 as you won’t need
to pay fees.
Centrepay deductions
If you pay your fees through
Centrepay, remember to check
your deductions. You can suspend or cancel them if you need.
Use our online help guides to either suspend your
deduction or cancel your
deduction.
If you’re new to child care
You may want to start getting Child Care Subsidy when it starts again on 29
June 2020.
You should claim now,
even though we won’t pay it until late June.
