197E, 197G or 197H, or a combination of them, for caring for the care receivers or for persons who include the care receivers, as the case requires.
Example: The parents of 3 children each with a disability or medical condition are divorced. Under a registered parenting plan covering all 3 children, one parent (the first parent) personally provides care in week 1 to:
(a) one of the children covered by the plan; and
(b) another child who is similarly disabled but who is not covered by the plan.
 The other parent personally provides care for the other 2 children covered by the plan. In week 2, the parents swap care arrangements for the children covered by the plan.
 The first parent would not qualify for a carer payment under section 197C because he or she is not providing constant care for the same children. However, this section allows the first parent to qualify for a carer payment for providing care for different children.

Application of income and assets tests
 (5) In applying the income and assets tests under section 198A or 198D in working out whether a parent qualifies under section 197B, 197C, 197D, 197E, 197G or 197H because of this section, disregard the other parent for the purposes of the following:
 (a) subsections 198B(1B) and 198D(1A), (1C) and (1DA);
 (b) subparagraph 198N(5)(aa)(ii);
 (c) paragraphs (b), (d) and (e) of the definition of FPC in subsection 198N(6).
