The Child Care Subsidy (CCS) is financial assistance to help families with the cost of child care. It enables families to more easily access high quality child care and early education for their children, and provide them with valuable learning and development opportunities.
How much CCS you receive is dependant on a range of factors, including your family's income, the type of child care you use, your child's age, the hours of activity you do, and the number of children in your care.
The CCS is paid directly to the child care provider, which in turn reduces the fees you pay.
