Child Care Subsidy (CCS) from 11 July 2022

On 11 July 2022, the Child Care Subsidy (CCS) rates adjusted based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) from last December.

What determines your family’s level of Child Care Subsidy?

You can get an estimate of what your family may be entitled to by entering your details into the Department of Human Services Payment and Service Finder

You can also use our Child Care Subsidy Calculator - a quick and easy alternative to Centrelink's Payment and Service Finder - to estimate your level of fortnightly support and out-of-pocket “gap” fee under the new Child Care Subsidy .
