Doesn't provide information about calculating payment amounts or eligibility.

What is the calculation method for payments under the Early Childhood Education and Care Relief Package?
section_content: The payment will be based on a reference fortnight, and calculated as 50 per
cent of the lesser of:

the hourly fee for the session of care; or
the relevant Child Care Subsidy hourly rate cap.

The reference fortnight is as follows:

For an Outside School Hours Care Service that provides only vacation care–the fortnight starting on the first Monday of the school holidays between school Term 3 and Term 4 in 2019 in the state or territory in which the service is located.
For all other services, it is­ the fortnight starting 17 February 2020.
Where a service charged fees for only one week of care during the fortnight starting
17 February 2020, or in the school holidays between Terms 3 and 4 in 2019, the
amount will be calculated on the week in which care occurred and the amount
doubled.

Example
A Centre Based Day Care (CBDC) service charges $100 for a 10 hour session of
care. Therefore, their hourly fee is $10 per hour ($100 ÷ 10 = $10). As $10 is
less than the CBDC hourly rate cap of $11.98, $10 is the amount used.
On the fortnight starting 17 February 2020, the CBDC service had 20 children
attending the service. Each child attended 10 sessions of care for the
fortnight (or five per week) and were charged $100 for a ten hour session
(meaning the hourly fee was $10). For that fortnight, the service’s total fees
charged were $20,000 (or $10,000 per week).
The payment this service will receive is worked out below:

the hourly payment is $5 ($10 x 50% = $5)
$5 hourly payment x 10 hour session = $50 payment per session
$50 x 20 children x 5 sessions per week = $5,000 paid per week.

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:
Doesn't provide information about determining the amount of the childcare relief package payments.
This tells how the payment will be made but not how to calculate it.
