CHILDCARE SUBSIDY
What is Childcare Subsidy
The Child Care Subsidy (CCS) is an Australian Government subsidy that offers financial assistance to help cover the cost of childcare. How much you receive depends on eligibility criteria, including your income, work activity, and the daily fees charged by your childcare provider.
In 24/25 financial year, families can get up to 90% subsidy for your first child under care. You may get a higher rate up to 95% subsidy for one or more of your children
