Child Care Subsidy (CCS) is here!

Changes have been made to your Government Subsidy.

Did you know that on Monday the 2nd of July the Government’s old fee assistance, CCR and CCB, were replaced with a single Child Care Subsidy (CCS). Great news is this new subsidy is available at all Camp Australia services!

CCS affects the amount of fee assistance each family receives. A few things that will determine a family’s level of Child Care Subsidy are:

• Annual income will determine the percentage of subsidy a family is eligible for,

• An activity test will determine how many hours of subsidised care families can access, and

• The type of child care service will determine the hourly rate cap

You must confirm your enrolment as soon as possible on the MyGov website: https://my.gov.au/ and confirm your personal details. This is what determines how much assistance you will receive.

Due to CCS being brand new, your details will not automatically roll over from previous years, so to prevent any complications please confirm your enrolment otherwise you may not receive any subsidy until you do so.

Thank you and we look forward to seeing you soon,
