+### Determination Rules
117
+
118
+* Child must be uniquely identified, using either CRN or Enrolment ID. Note, enrolment ID will not be returned in any of the query services as it is merely another way to identify child’s CRN.
119
+* Child at risk must start on a Monday.
120
+* Child at risk can be backdated for 28 days, 4 weeks.
121
+* Evidence must be kept for all children at risk and should be provided upon request by DHS.
122
+* Cancelling/revoking or varying a certificate/determination may trigger reassessments for session reports, which may adjust entitlement causing a debt to be raised to the Provider.
123
+* Determination is in effect for the child. This means a determination will be in effect for all enrolments regardless of:
124
+ * Provider,
125
+ * Service,
126
+ * Liable party, and
127
+ * Enrolment type.
128
+* Determination must start on a Monday.
129
+* Determination made by other providers in relation to children attending any of your services can be returned in the query determination service, depending on the request parameters. However, only limited response will be returned.
130
+* Application for a determination cannot be submitted unless 204K notice is provided. Where a Provider has a certificate in effect for a child at any of their services, and the Provider has already notified a S/T body under 204K in relation to that certificate and the date of 204K notice is within 6 weeks from the application submission date, then they will be taken to have met the notification obligation
131
+* Application can be for a maximum length of 13 weeks.
132
+* Application and Certificate periods for the same child/service cannot overlap.
133
+* Application and Certificate periods for the same child but different services can overlap.
134
+* Provider cannot vary or revoke an application once submitted.
135
+* If the child is no longer at risk, the no longer at risk service should be used and a work item will be generated for staff to action.
136
+* Australian Government/DHS staff can vary a determination, with certain restrictions.
137
+* Australian Government/DHS staff can revoke a determination.
138
+* Evidence of child being at risk is mandatory for application.
139
+
140
+
141
+
142
+#### Subsequent Determination
143
+
144
+If the child continue to be at risk after the 13 week determination, a subsequent determination can be submitted.
145
+
146
+Subsequent determination must be requested before the expiring of the active determination.
147
+Determination (original or subsequent) periods for the same child cannot overlap.
148
+Evidence is optional for subsequent determination. For the purpose of assessing determinations, evidence is only valid for a maximum of 6 months, so although evidence is not enforced by the interface, it would be a good idea to obtain and provide up-to-date evidences where possible.
