Childcare Subsidy (CCS) Overview
The Federal Government’s new Child Care Subsidy offers the perfect opportunity for many Australian families to gain access to a vital and much-needed service.
Commencing in July 2018, the initiative is designed to enable more low and middle-income families to access affordable, flexible and high. I also have a background in eCommerce which will help us drive our online presence.-quality childcare.
As a recognised childcare provider, we are registered for the Government Childcare Subsidy (CCS).
Three Vines Sanctuary is here to support you as you begin to discover your family’s CCS entitlements and the varied enrolment options available. We can help guide you to make the most of your CCS, so your child or children can benefit from the exciting opportunities that the right early learning or preschool/kindergarten environment can offer.
How does the ChildCare Subsidy work
The Child Care Subsidy will be paid directly to providers to be passed on to families as a fee reduction. Families will make a co-contribution to their child care fees and pay to the provider the difference between the fee charged and the subsidised amount.
