Fees and Child Care Subsidy
We help families understand fees and the Child Care Subsidy (CCS) in clear, simple steps.
Most families pay reduced fees, and we guide you through what support you may be eligible for — including upcoming changes.
The 3 Day Guarantee (from January 2026)
From January 2026, families will be guaranteed at least three days of subsidised early learning per week (72 hours per fortnight), regardless of activity levels.
This means:
More affordable early learning for more families
Greater consistency and routine for children
Clearer, fairer access to care
If you are already eligible for CCS, you may still be entitled to more subsidised hours, depending on your circumstances.
We make it easy
You do not need to understand the full system.
We will:
explain what the 3 Day Guarantee means for your family
help you understand your out-of-pocket costs
support you through the enrolment and CCS process
We keep things fair, transparent, and easy to understand.
