Affordable Childcare Support

Government Child Care Subsidy

The Australian Government's Child Care Subsidy (CCS) helps eligible families reduce the cost of approved early learning and childcare services, making quality education more affordable.

Your approved CCS is paid directly to our centre, reducing your childcare fees based on your family's income, recognised activity level, and approved care requirements.

Eligible families may receive up to 90% Child Care Subsidy
Eligible families may receive up to 90% Child Care Subsidy - and a higher rate may apply for families with more than one child aged 5 or under.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers Parents Ask Most Often

These quick answers cover the most common subsidy and fee questions we hear from families.

How much will my out-of-pocket fees be?

Your out-of-pocket fee is the difference between our session rate and your approved CCS government payment. Contact our team for a personalised fee calculation based on your child's schedule and CCS percentage.

What is the Additional Child Care Subsidy (ACCS)?

ACCS can provide up to 100% fee coverage for eligible families, including those experiencing severe financial hardship, grandparents raising grandchildren, or parents transitioning back to work.

Are subsidies available during public holidays and absences?

Yes. Families receive up to 42 allowable absence days per child each financial year where CCS can still be applied, subject to current government rules and eligibility.
