200B  When a child is enrolled
 (1) A child:
 (a) starts to be enrolled for care by a child care service of a provider if:
 (i) the provider and an individual enter into a complying written arrangement for the service to provide care to the child; or
 (ii) the service provides care to the child in the circumstances referred to in subsection (4); and
 (b) ceases to be enrolled for care by that service when the earliest of the following events happens:
 (i) for an enrolment that started as referred to in subparagraph (a)(i)—the arrangement ends;
 (ii) for an enrolment that started as referred to in subparagraph (a)(ii)—the care ceases to be provided in those circumstances;
 (iii) 14 weeks have passed since the child last attended any of the service's sessions of care;
 (iv) an event prescribed by the Minister's rules.
 (1A) The Minister's rules may prescribe circumstances in which one or more weeks covered wholly or partly by a period of emergency or disaster are to be disregarded for the purposes of subparagraph (1)(b)(iii).
 (2) A child is enrolled for care by a service from the day the child starts to be enrolled until the child ceases to be enrolled.

 (ii) a determination made by the Secretary under section 85CE (determination for ACCS (child wellbeing)) of the Family Assistance Act is in effect in relation to the child;
