9  Requirements for complying written arrangements
  For subsection 200B(3) of the Family Assistance Administration Act, an arrangement is a complying written arrangement where it expressly sets out, in writing, all of the following:
 (a) the names and contact details of the parties to the arrangement;
 (b) the date the arrangement was entered into;
 (c) the name and date of birth of the child to whom sessions of care are proposed to be provided;
 (d) whether care will be provided on a routine basis under the arrangement, and if so:
 (i) details about the days on which sessions of care will usually be provided; and
 (ii) usual start and end times for these sessions of care;
 (e) whether care may be provided on a casual or flexible basis under the arrangement (either in addition to, or instead of, being provided on a routine basis);
 (f) details about fees proposed to be charged to the individual for the sessions of care provided under the arrangement, which can be detailed by reference to other material (such as a fee schedule or information available on a website maintained by the provider) that the parties expressly understand may vary from time to time.
Note 1: Paragraph 85BA(1)(b) of the Family Assistance Act provides that an individual is eligible for CCS where, among other requirements, the individual has incurred a liability to pay for a session of care under a complying written arrangement.  Such an arrangement must both comply with the requirements set out above and be stated in terms that clearly establish a liability to pay for sessions of care in order for an individual to be eligible for CCS for a session of care.
Note 2: An arrangement can be in hardcopy or electronic form.

(ii) the hourly session fee for each session of care provided by the service to the child in the statement period;
(iii) the total of the fee reduction amounts for the fee reduction decisions for the individual of which the provider was given notice for the weeks in the statement period.
