Question: What will happen if my child was absent on the last day of enrolment?

Answer passage (source: Australia):
page_title: Early Childhood Education and Care COVID-19 Frequently Asked Questions

What if a child is absent on their last day of enrolment?
section_content: If an enrolment ends on or prior to 5 April 2020, and the child is absent on
the last day, normal absence rules apply. That is, if a family has confirmed
their child’s last day at a service, but that child does not attend their last
booked session(s) of care, no Child Care Subsidy (CCS) will be paid for any
days after the child’s last physical attendance at the service.
If absences are reported in the above circumstances and CCS has been
previously paid, these amounts will be recovered from the service once the
enrolment ceases.
If a child is absent on their last day of enrolment in the period between 6
April 2020 and 28 June 2020, the CCS amount which has been paid to the service
will not be recovered from the service or the family.
For example, if the child ceases their enrolment on 8 April 2020, and has been
absent for the two weeks immediately prior to this date, the CCS amount which
has been paid to the service over the period up to 8 April 2020, will not be
recovered from the service or the family.

How should services treat new enrolments at their centre? 
section_content: Providers should continue to enter into a Complying Written Arrangement with
parents who are eligible for the Child Care Subsidy and record the child’s
start date (the day that the parent confirms their agreement to the
arrangement) in their third party software or the Provider Entry Point (PEP).
An enrolment notice should be submitted in the provider’s third party software
or the PEP within seven days of entering into a Complying Written Arrangement
with the family.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Talks about documenting attendance, but not what to do if the child is absent on the last day.
The answer discusses compliance agreements, not enrollment absences.

How do we respond to families who had previously taken their children out of care for health and safety reasons who now wish to return their child to care?
section_content: Under the Early Childhood Education and Care Relief Package, services must
prioritise care to children of essential workers, vulnerable and disadvantaged
children, and children who were previously enrolled.
Where services choose to accept new enrolments and increase attendance where
parents request it, they are able to apply for Exceptional Circumstance
Supplementary Payments, where the current level of attendance is higher than
the reference period, to meet the demand for child care up to their service’s
full capacity.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Discusses who gets priority enrollment in daycare, but doesn't address what happens if the child is absent on the last day.
The answer does not discuss enrollment absences.
