Commonwealth Childcare Subsidy (CCS)
It is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to register for a My Gov account and complete a Childcare Subsidy assessment with the Dept of Human Services. This process allows families to be assessed for childcare subsidy which may lead to reduced fees for care. The subsidy is given directly to the service & varies from family to family depending on eligibility. Once the service has received the subsidy, this amount is deducted from the weekly fees thus reducing a parent’s account.
More information can be found at education.gov.au/childcare or go online http://www.humanservices.gov.au/. All new families are required to have set up their My Gov account and completed their assessment by the time their child is ready to start at the centre. All relevant CRN’s (customer reference numbers) must be provided on the enrolment form.
Please note- if a child has a block of absences, 8 weeks or more, you may need to reconfirm the booking on your MyGov account to receive CCS again.
More information about fees & enrolment can be found in the Parent Handbook & Fees Policy below.
