Child Care Subsidy offers assistance to families to help with the cost of child care aged 0-13 years. There are 3 factors that will determine a family’s level of Child Care Subsidy, which include:
Combined annual family income
Activity test – the activity level of both parents
Service type – type of child care service and whether the child attends school
Families who wish to receive Child Care Subsidy as reduced fees must apply through the myGov website. This includes completing the Child Care Subsidy activity test. Child Care Subsidy is paid directly to our Service to be passed on to families as a fee reduction. Families will contribute to their childcare fees and pay the difference between the fee charged by our Service and the subsidy amount received. This is called the ‘gap fee’.
On enrolment we will need the Customer Reference Number (CRN) of the person linked with the child, along with the child’s CRN so we can confirm the attendance and ensure that you are receiving the appropriate subsidy. Once you have your subsidy entitlements, reach out to our team and we can provide a quote for your gap fee.
We happily offer sessions for our families to maximise the use of their Child Care Subsidy entitlements.
Speak to us today about how our session bookings can reduce your gap fee and make the most out of your subsidised hours.
