Guide to the Government Child Care Subsidy

The Government Child Care Subsidy makes early learning more affordable for many Australians. The below guide is provided to help break down the benefits for you and your family.

How much Child Care Subsidy (CCS) will I be entitled to?

This will depend on three factors:

• How much ‘work related’ activity (see education.gov.au) you and your partner undertake each fortnight. The entitlement is based on the lesser activity figure for a member of a couple.
• Your total combined family income.
• The amount of early education child care undertaken.
