The Child Care Subsidy (CCS) can reduce your daily out-of-pocket fee by up to 95%, depending on your family\u2019s entitlements. You can find out how much CCS you may be eligible for using our quick and easy calculator.\u200b<\/p>\n

From 5th January, 2026, the Australian Government is introducing the 3-Day Guarantee, which means all CCS-eligible families will receive a minimum of 72 hours of subsidised care per fortnight, or 3 days per week, for each child, regardless of work or study commitments. This change is designed to make early learning more accessible and affordable, helping more children benefit from high-quality early education and care. \u200b<\/p>\n

Our Child Care Subsidy Calculator also provides estimates for kindergarten and preschool funding based on your state. It\u2019s a helpful tool to understand the support available for long day care, preschool, or kindergarten, so you can plan your child\u2019s early learning journey with confidence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

Each year, the Australian Federal Government adjusts the Child Care Subsidy (CCS) hourly rate caps and family income thresholds based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The maximum hourly rate and family income thresholds for the 2025\/2026 financial year are outlined below:<\/p>\n
