Fee relief
The Child Care Subsidy (CCS)
From July 2023 the Australian Government will be increasing its Child Care Subsidy (CCS) rates for families.
The CCS is a government subsidy that offers different levels of financial assistance to help cover the cost of childcare for Australian families. How much you receive depends on your individual circumstances.
Some of the key changes that make this such positive news for Only About Children families include:
- Lifting the maximum CCS rate to 90% for families earning $80,000 or less
- Increasing CCS rates for around 96% of families with a child in care earning under $530,000.
- Investing $33.7 million to increase subsidised ECEC to a minimum of 36 hours per fortnight for families with First Nations children.
- These changes are in addition to the increased Higher Sibling Subsidy the government introduced in early 2022.
