Child Care Subsidy

The Federal Government offers a system of Child Care Subsidy where payment is made to approved childcare services so that they can reduce the fees paid by low and middle-income families for quality childcare.

Families who wish to claim Child Care Subsidy (CCS) must have their income assessed by the Department of Human Services. You can access the Department of Human Services online here, call 1800 686 237 or personally at Centrelink.

Families who wish to claim CCS should apply prior to starting at Learn & Play Kindergarten. We are then able to reduce fees from the day your child/children start care.
