Child Care Subsidy

Assistance to help you with the cost of child care.

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.

Read the full conditions under who can get CCS.

CCS replaced Child Care Benefit and Child Care Rebate when they stopped on 1 July 2018.

 

Allowable Absences

The CCS covers 42 absences per financial year without the need for a specific reason. Additional absences for a specific reason can be applied for through your centre, but may require proof through documentation. Please read here, or talk to us about additional CCS absences.

It is our policy to count any public holidays that fall on permanently booked days as absences. You can access your child’s absence record through your online statement by selecting ‘View Child Care Details and Payments’ on your Centrelink online account. You can also do this using the Express plus Families mobile app.

Service Closing Time and Late Fees

Please be aware that our centre closes at 6:30pm. In accordance with National Regulations and licensing, we are not permitted to have children in the service after 6:30pm unless an unforeseeable situation occurs.

A late fee of $15 per child + $1 per minute will be strictly adhered to, as the centre will need to be kept open with 2 educators remaining behind.
