We now have CCS rebate available

Child Care Subsidy (CCS) Now Available for OSHC

We are pleased to share that families using the Warrandyte Primary School OSHC program may now be eligible to receive the Australian Government Child Care Subsidy (CCS). CCS is a government payment designed to help families reduce the cost of approved childcare services, including before school care, after school care and vacation care. The subsidy is paid directly to the childcare provider and reduces the out-of-pocket fees that families pay.

The amount of subsidy a family receives depends on several factors, including family income, the number of hours of recognised activity (such as work or study), and the type of care being used. Families can apply for CCS through their myGov account linked to Centrelink, and once approved the subsidy will automatically be applied to OSHC fees.

To learn more about eligibility and how to apply, families can view the official parent guide from Services Australia:

If you have any questions about CCS or enrolling in the OSHC program, please contact the school for assistance.
