Question: Will there be an option to utilize In Home Care for those children unable to attend normal childcare because of Coronavirus?

Answer passage (source: Australia):
page_title: Early Childhood Education and Care COVID-19 Frequently Asked Questions
section_headers: Family Day Care and In Home Care
As a Family Day Care service, are we allowed to charge our educators the fees that keep our service running?
section_content: Any type of internal fee arrangement between a Family Day Care service and an
educator is a commercial business arrangement. The Government does not
regulate or intervene on matters between educators and services. As part of
broader messaging around the COVID-19 response the Prime Minister has appealed
to all businesses to look at their rate of fees and charges and see if they
can reduce them in recognition of the unprecedented times being experienced.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Doesn't mention In Home Care at all. Doesn't address topic of the question.
This answer is irrelevant to the question. The question is asking for information about In Home Care and this answer is about fee arrangement between family day care service and their educators.

What if I am working from home?

workers, vulnerable and disadvantaged children, and previously enrolled
children.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Answer focuses on childcare. Doesn't mention In Home Care at all.
This does not answer the question. The question is asking for information about In Home Care and this answer contains information on children who are prioritized for child care.

Can In Home Care be used by families whose children are unable to go to school or access their regular child care arrangements due to COVID-19?
section_content: In Home Care (IHC) is a specific type of care that is targeted to families who
meet the IHC eligibility criteria.
Risk of COVID-19 infection, or an early childhood education and care service
or school closing because of COVID-19, would not by itself be a valid reason
to access IHC. However, critical workers may be able to access IHC and should
contact the relevant IHC Support
Agency within their state or
territory to discuss their requirements.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Clearly says that coronavirus alone is not sufficient justification for In Home Care.
This is not a direct answer to the question. This answer provides recommendation to contact the relevant IHC Support Agency to discuss requirements and eligibility criteria for In Home Care. It does not provide any information on which children are able to utilize In Home Care when unable to attend school due to Covid-19.
