Would you like to calculate your Child Care Subsidy now?
The Child Care Subsidy (CCS) is a subsidy that the Australian government pays directly to your child care provider to reduce the fees you pay.
To get Child Care Subsidy (CCS) you must:
care for a child 13 or younger who’s not attending secondary school, unless an exemption applies
use an approved child care service
be responsible for paying the child care fees
meet residency and immunisation requirements
do a recognised activity
It takes about 5 minutes to calculate your Child Care Subsidy. By answering our questions, we can display the cost you might pay after the subsidy as been applied.
Quick example:
The average Australian family with two children and an average gross household income of $120,000 attending Long Day Care will receive a subsidy of $745.15 per week, which is approximately 89% of the fee covered.
