The Child Care Subsidy Program

As a recognised provider of childcare, Funtastic Kidz is registered for the Child Care Subsidy (CCS). This government child care subsidy program came into being in 2018 to replace the Child Care Benefits (CCB) and child care rebate schemes. Its aim is to make childcare more affordable to a larger portion of the community.

How Does the Child Care Subsidy (CCS) work?

The Child Care Subsidy (CCS) involves the government paying a portion of the childcare fees to the recognised childcare provider. The parents enrolling their child pay the gap amount between the government subsidy and the true cost of the childcare.
