You cannot care for more relatives than non-relatives in a Child Care Subsidy fortnight. This is known as the ‘less than 50% rule’.
Extended family includes nieces, nephews, cousins or grandchildren from either your side of the family or your partner’s family.
Different rules apply when caring for your own children or siblings.
