If you want to use child care, the Australian Government helps cover the costs. It’s called Child Care Subsidy, or CCS.

Quality outcomes for children depend on a highly skilled, well-supported and professionally recognised early childhood education and care (ECEC) workforce.

Help is available for families and early childhood education and care services in an emergency, like bushfires, cyclones, or floods. Support includes gap fee waivers, extra absences and support for service closures.

The Child Care Subsidy (CCS) is paid to early childhood education and care (ECEC) providers who pass it on to families as a fee reduction.

We’re supporting early childhood education and care (ECEC) providers to offer professional development opportunities to teachers and educators. Support includes subsidies and an online network to help staff complete training and practicums.
