• The maximum amount of Child Care Subsidy is increasing from 85% to 90%.
• Families earning $80,000 or less will get a Child Care Subsidy rate of 90%.
• Families earning over $80,000 may get a Child Care Subsidy rate starting from 90%. This will go down by 1% for each $5,000 of income they earn above $80,000. This rate reaches 0% for families earning $530,000.
• Families earning below $362,408 with more than one child aged 5 or under in care can still get a higher rate for one or more of their children.
• Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander children can get at least 36 subsidised hours of early childhood education and care per fortnight, regardless of their family's activity level.
