From 5 January 2026, all families eligible for the Child Care Subsidy (CCS) will automatically receive at least 3 days of subsidised care per week (72 hours per fortnight), regardless of work or study activity. To prepare, families are encouraged to discuss their 2026 bookings with their Centre Director early, as demand for places is expected to increase.

The Child Care Subsidy makes childcare more affordable and accessible for your family. Use our free Child Care Subsidy Estimator to calculate how much subsidised care you could be eligible to receive.
