Government Assistance
What is the Child Care Subsidy?
The Australian Government is committed to ensuring that Australian families are able to access affordable, flexible and high quality Education and care.
The Government provides a number of subsidies and programs to help with the cost of Education and care, with the Child Care Subsidy (CCS) being the main type of assistance that most families will use.
Family eligibility
The parent must:
· care for their child at least 2 nights per fortnight or have 14% share of care
· be liable for child care fees at an approved early childhood education and care service meet residency requirements.
Their child must:
· meet immunisation requirements
· not be attending secondary school (unless an exemption applies)
· be 13 or under (except in certain circumstances).
If a child doesn’t attend a session of care at least once in 26 consecutive weeks, they will stop being eligible for CCS. If a child starts to attend care again, a family can make a new claim for CCS.
14 Weeks
If your child hasn't attended Little Bee for 14 continuous weeks, Centrelink will automatically end your Child Care Subsidy (CCS) enrolment. The subsidy will stop being paid for any sessions of care after their last day of physical attendance, and the family will be charged full fees.
Family entitlement
The amount of CCS a family can get depends on their circumstances.
Services Australia (Centrelink) assesses:
· a family’s income
· how many children a family has in their care
· the age of the children in their care
· whether the child identifies as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander
· a family’s participation level (work, study, volunteer)
· the type of care a family uses, Little Bee is a ‘Long Day Care’.
Family income
Services Australia (Centrelink) works out a family’s CCS percentage based on their family income estimate.
A family’s CCS subsidy rate is the percentage of the hourly rate the government will subsidise. It will apply to the hourly fee or the relevant hourly rate cap, whichever is lower.
Number of children in care
Families with more than one child aged 5 or under enrolled in an approved care setting, may get a higher subsidy for their younger children, based on the ‘standard rate child’ and ‘higher rate child’ definitions. Siblings do not need to attend the same service to get the higher subsidy.
The rates for each child are worked out using two separate income tests.
· The ‘standard rate child’ is usually the eldest CCS eligible child aged 5 or under. The standard rate child will get the standard CCS rates.
· The ‘higher rate child’ is additional children aged 5 or under and is calculated using the rates for ‘second and younger children’.
