How Child Care Subsidy works
Families may be eligible for support in paying part of the fees. CCS is paid to providers who pass it on to families as a fee reduction. Families pay the difference between the provider’s fee and the subsidy amount. There are important rules about the fees you charge families.
Families can get CCS when their child is unable to attend child care up to 42 days a year. Families can get extra absence days in certain circumstances.
Services Australia balances CCS payments after each financial year to ensure families are paid the right amount.
Family eligibility
Families must meet certain requirements to get CCS.
Parents must:
care for their child at least two nights per fortnight, have 14% share of care, or receive Family Tax Benefit for their child
make a co-contribution to their child care fees at an approved child care service
meet residency requirements.
Their child must:
meet immunisation requirements
not be attending secondary school (unless an exemption applies)
be 13 or under (except in certain circumstances).
