76 | +### Certificate Rules |
|
77 | + |
|
78 | + |
|
79 | +A certificate can only be for a single child at a single service. This means: |
|
80 | + * If a child attends multiple services from the same Provider, a separate certificate must be submitted for each service. |
|
81 | + * If multiple enrolments exist for the same child in a service, a certificate would cover all enrolments for that service as long as the Enrolment is linked to the CRN. |
|
82 | + * Certificate can be for a maximum length of 6 weeks. |
|
83 | + * Certificate must start on a Monday. |
|
84 | + * Certificate start date cannot be in the future. |
|
85 | + * Certificate periods for the same child/service cannot overlap. |
|
86 | + * Certificate periods for the same child for different services can overlap. |
|
87 | + * Details of the 204K notice can be provided when a Certificate is first submitted. |
|
88 | + * 204K notice is not required if the same Provider has already given a 204K notice within 6 weeks of the certificate submission date for the same child under a different service. |
|
89 | + * 6 weeks does not need to be used up in one certificate. |
|
90 | + * Maximum of 6 weeks of certificate for a particular child/service can be submitted within a 12 month period. |
|
91 | + * Request to cancel a certificate can be lodged any time after the certificate has been made. |
|
92 | + * If cancellation is requested within 4 weeks from the start date of the certificate, it will auto apply. Otherwise, a work item will be generated for staff to action. |
|
93 | + * Provider/service cannot amend a certificate once it is submitted, hence no update certificate service available. |
|
94 | + * Instead, Provider can cancel the certificate needing amendment and create a new certificate, which will be known as a replacement certificate. |
|
95 | + * A replacement certificate is identified if a new certificate has an overlapping at risk period comparing to a cancelled certificate, for the same child/service. |
|
96 | + * A replacement certificate cannot have a start date earlier than the original certificate start date. Instead, Provider can submit a separate certificate to cover for the earlier period. |
|
97 | + * A replacement certificate will not be accepted, if the original certificate was cancelled by DHS staff. Instead, Provider needs to request a 109A review of the decision. |
|
98 | + * If the child is no longer at risk, and It is within 4 weeks from the start date of the certificate, then Provider must use the cancel service and submit a replacement certificate, otherwise "the no longer at risk service" must be used and a work item will be generated for staff to action if it is more than 4 weeks have elapsed from the start date. |
|
99 | + * Australian Government/DHS staff will be able to vary Certificates, with certain restrictions. |
|
