Fees and Government Fee Subsidies

The daily fee rate ranges from $10.70 to $53.00 per day depending on your level of government fee subsidy. (This also includes all meals and excursions.)

There are two government fee subsidies and you can claim for both.

50% Child Care Rebate (CCR) - This is NOT income tested.

This a payment for parents /guardians who are working, studying or training. This rebate is to help with the out- of -pocket cost of child care up to a maximum of $7,778.00 per child. (Out of pocket is total fees less childcare benefit CCB.)

To be eligible, families must receive CCB (even if your % is zero) and meet the current CCB work/training/study test.

Rebate can be claimed quarterly or annually.

Child Care Benefit (CCB)- It is income tested

Child Care Benefit is a payment made to families to assist with the cost of child care.
You can choose to have your fees reduced weekly or claim a lump-sum.
