50 Service capacity
The conditions of a service approval must include a condition stating the maximum number of children to whom regulated education and care may be provided at one time under the approval (the service capacity of the QEC service).

as a single number; or
as different numbers applying to the QEC service at different times according to the circumstances (for example, according to the ages of the children being provided with regulated education and care).
The service capacity applies to all the children to whom regulated education and care is being provided at one time in the course of the QEC service, whether the children are being provided with the regulated education and care at the QEC service premises or somewhere else.
