How the Elite first prize works,It's calculated, not a lump guess

Your payment is worked out from your verified current gap fee (after subsidies) and the time your child has left in care. It's paid once, directly to you — not in instalments, and not to the centre.

Gap fee×Months remaining=Your payment

Minimum $1,000. Capped at $40,000.

  • Plus a separate $10,000 grant to your child's centre for resources, training or facilities.
  • Maximum total Elite prize pool: $51,500 per quarter.
