Fees & CCS
Most families pay far less than they expect
With the Child Care Subsidy, eligible families can save up to 90% on the daily fee. Slide the estimator below to see the subsidy you could get in ten seconds.
Understanding the Child Care Subsidy
The CCS is an Australian Government payment that reduces your childcare costs. The amount you receive depends on your family income, activity level and the type of care.
How much could you save?
Families can receive a subsidy of up to 90% of their childcare fees, depending on household income and activity. For many families the subsidy covers the large majority of the daily fee.
All Kidz Childcare centres are approved CCS providers. We can help you understand what you're entitled to and confirm your exact out-of-pocket before you enrol.
