How Much Does Childcare Cost in Cardinia?

The cost of child care in Officer and surrounding areas depends on factors such as your child’s age, the centre you choose, and your Child Care Subsidy (CCS) eligibility. At Milestones, we aim to make high-quality early education accessible and affordable for local families.

Many families in Cardinia qualify for CCS, which can significantly reduce out-of-pocket costs. Your subsidy amount depends on household income and the hours of work, study, or approved activity you undertake. Learn more on the Services Australia website.
