Child Care Subsidy
💡 What is the Child Care Subsidy (CCS)?
The Child Care Subsidy (CCS) is a government payment that helps eligible Australian families with the cost of approved childcare. It is designed to make early childhood education and care more affordable and accessible, supporting families to participate in work, study, or training.
