Child Care Subsidy
What is the Childcare Subsidy?
The Child Care Subsidy (CCS) is the main way the Australian Government helps families with child care fees. Providers must be approved by the department to receive CCS on behalf of families.
Who is Eligible?
You need to meet some requirements to get Child Care Subsidy.
We pay this subsidy directly to your child care provider to reduce the fees you pay.
You may be eligible if you or your partner meet all of the following:
- care for your child at least 2 nights per fortnight, or have 14% care
- are liable for fees for care provided at an approved child care service
- meet the residence rules.
Your child must also meet both of these:
- immunisation requirements
- not be attending secondary school unless an exemption applies.
If your child attends secondary school, you may still be eligible if they need supervision. They must be either:
- 13 or under
- 14 to 18 with disability.
In these circumstances, you must provide evidence why your child can’t be unsupervised. This may include evidence of your child’s disability. You also need to confirm an adult cannot care for your child during this time.
Each person that’s liable to pay child care fees will need to apply for this subsidy and meet these criteria.
Read more about how to maintain your eligibility for Child Care Subsidy (CCS) when your child doesn’t use child care.
Extra Support
Some families can get Additional Child Care Subsidy. We pay it on top of Child Care Subsidy to provide extra support with child care fees.
There are 3 different types of Additional Child Care Subsidy that you can apply for. You can apply if you’re either:
- a grandparent
- transitioning to work
- experiencing temporary financial hardship.
