Child Care Subsidy

Child Care Subsidy is available to parents who work, train study and volunteer. Centrelink assesses families” eligibility for Child Care Subsidy.
The number of hours of subsidised care families can access is determined by an activity test. The higher the level of activity, the more hours of subsidised care families can access, up to a maximum of 100 hours per fortnight.
Families must have a MyGov account to access Child Care Subsidy. This can be done online. For more information visit www.servicesaustralia.gov.au/individuals/services/centrelink/child-care-subsidy

The Centre will process families’ accounts and forward to Centrelink for Child Care Subsidy reduction. After they have been processed they will be returned to the Centre for distribution to families.

The onus is on the family to contact the Centrelink initially and then to advise them of any changes in circumstances throughout the financial year.

Parents/guardians must sign their children in and out each day.  These sheets are used by department as proof that the child attended the Centre and they are also required for the NQS. If your child is sick or on holidays, Child Care Subsidy may still be available for 42 days per year.

We ask that you notify us by phone or email if your child is absent for any reason.
