CHILD CARE SUBSIDY

Allambie Bush Kindy is an accredited centre under the Government’s Child Care Subsidy Scheme.

You may be eligible for child care support if your child attends Allambie Bush Kindy. Eligibility depends on factors including immunisation requirements, residency rules and age of the child.

Child Care Subsidy (CCS)

Child Care Subsidy is paid after attendance. Families need to submit a claim to Centrelink online and confirm enrolment of their child/ren.

The amount of CCS you can get will depend on your circumstances, your income and your activity level whether working, studying/training or other recognised activity. Annual caps apply.

Centrelink will withhold 5% of the subsidy to reduce the likelihood of getting an overpayment. Payments will be balanced by Centrelink at the end of the financial year.

For further information regarding the Child Care Subsidy or to submit a claim, go to the Department of Human Services website or call the Family Assistance Office on 136 150.
