Child Care Subsidy Information
The Child Care Subsidy (CCS) is a means and activity tested payment provided by the Australian Government to assist families will the cost of Early Childhood Education and Care fees. Terrey Hills Early Learning Centre is a CCS approved service and families enrolled will be eligible to claim the payment depending on their personal circumstances.
For more information about CCS, you can visit the Starting Blocks website or contact the Department of human service. The framework offers a vision where ‘all children experience learning that is engaging and builds success for life’. It has been designed so that early childhood services will be able to develop their own strategies to implement its objectives.
ELIGIBILITY FOR THE CHILD CARE SUBSIDY.
From 7 March 2022, families with more than one child aged 5 or younger will get a higher Child Care Subsidy (CCS). Read more about higher css.
Some basic requirements must be satisfied for an individual to be eligible to receive Child Care Subsidy for a child. These include:
The age of the child (must be 13 or under and not attending secondary school)
The individual, or their partner, meets the residency requirements.
The child meeting immunisation requirements
To be eligible for Child Care Subsidy the individual must be liable to pay for care provided, the care must be delivered in Australia by an approved child care provider, and not be part of a compulsory education program.
How Does it Work?
There are three factors that will determine a family’s level of Child Care Subsidy. These are:
The combined income of parents
The activity level of both parents
Type of the chosen child care service
The Child Care Subsidy will be paid directly to providers to be passed on to families as a fee reduction. Families will make a co-contribution to their child care fees and pay to the provider the difference between the fee charged and the subsidy amount.
The New Child Care Package will also provide targeted additional fee assistance for vulnerable families through the ccs net.

PRIORITY OF ACCESS FOR CHILD CARE CENTRES
PRIORITY OF ACCESS FOR CHILD CARE CENTRES is a condition of approval and continued approval for Child Care Benefit (CCB) purposes that services must comply with family assistance law. The Priority of Access Guidelines are set out in the Child Care Benefit (Eligibility of Child Care Services for Approval and Continued Approval) Determination 2000. The Priority of Access Guidelines must be used by approved services to allocate available child care places where there are more families requiring care than places available.
When filling vacant places, a service must fill them according to the following priorities:
Priority #1
A child at risk of serious abuse or neglect
Priority #2
A child of a single parent who satisfies, or of parents who both satisfy, the work, training, study test
Priority #3
Any other child
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families
Families which include a disabled person
Families which include an individual whose adjusted taxable income does not exceed the lower income threshold of $43,727 for 2015-2016 or who or whose partner is on income support
Families from a non-English speaking background
Socially isolated families.
Single parent families.
Under the Priority of Access Guidelines a child care service may require a Priority 3 child only to vacate a place to make room for a higher priority child. The service can only do so if.
- The person liable for the payment of the child care fees was notified when the child first entered care that the service followed this policy, and
- The service gives the person at least 14 days’ notice of the requirement for the child to vacate the place.
From 7 March 2022, if you have more than one child aged 5 or younger in care, you may get a higher subsidy. This will apply for one or more of your children.
