 (1) The Secretary may, by legislative instrument (the Disability Care Load Assessment (Child) Determination):
 (a) devise a test for assessing the functional ability, behaviour and special care needs of a person aged under 16 (the child), that includes an assessment that must be completed only by a treating health professional; and
 (b) provide a method for rating the care needs of the child; and
 (c) provide a method for giving a qualifying rating to a person (the carer) who is caring for the child that takes into account:
 (i) the care provided for the child by the carer; and
 (ii) the assessment completed by the treating health professional.
 (2) If a carer who is caring for a child also cares for one or more other persons (whether or not aged under 16), the Disability Care Load Assessment (Child) Determination may provide a method for giving a qualifying rating to the carer that takes into account:

 (i) the care provided for the child by the carer; and
 (ii) the assessment completed by the treating health professional; and
