Child Care Subsidy Changes
From July 1, 2023, families using child care, including outside school hours care, must pay the gap fee using electronic means.
The gap fee is the difference between the provider's fee and the Child Care Subsidy (CCS) amount. Therefore payments by cash and cheque for gap fees will no longer be able to be accepted by the College from July 1, 2023.
There are also more changes to the Child Care Subsidy from July as outlined on the attached flyer. The most important point is to ensure you have updated your income estimates to make sure you get the correct amount of CCS.
