Understanding the Child Care Subsidy (CCS)
The Child Care Subsidy (CCS) helps make quality early learning more affordable for Australian families by reducing out-of-pocket childcare costs. This means easier access to the care and education your child deserves.
How is the Subsidy Calculated?
The amount of CCS you receive depends on:
- Household Income – The higher your income, the lower your subsidy percentage
- Activity Hours – The more you work, study, or volunteer, the more subsidised hours you're eligible for
- Childcare Fees and Hourly Caps – The government covers a percentage of fees, up to a set hourly rate
