From 10 July 2023, if your family earns under $530,000, you’ll get increased Child Care Subsidy (CCS). Families earning up to $80,000 will get an increased maximum CCS amount, from 85% to 90%. This means cheaper childcare is available for eligible families. Find out more.

The government also has the Additional Child Care Subsidy (ACCS) for families who require more support.

To receive ACCS, you need to be eligible for CCS first and need to be one of the following:

An eligible grandparent getting an income support payment

Transitioning from certain income support payments to work

Experiencing temporary financial hardship

Caring for a child who is vulnerable or at risk of harm, abuse, or neglect

For more information on the ACCS – visit Services Australia.

Our Customer Care Team are happy to assist with any general queries related to CCS or ACCS that may help with your OSHC journey. You can contact them on 1300 105 343.

The Child Care Subsidy (CCS) is a government entitlement where the government pays a portion of your fees direct to Camp Australia to reduce your out-of-pocket cost.

Eligible families can receive up to 90% off their fees.

The subsidy is designed to make the cost of childcare more affordable.

There are three main factors that affect the level of subsidy that you could receive:

Your OSHC fees (Centrelink will cover a percentage of the fees up to their hourly cap, which currently sits at approx $13.73)

Your fortnightly activity (paid and unpaid work or study)

Your combined family income

You can find out more about the CCS and your eligibility by contacting Centrelink or visiting the Education.gov.au website

Once your CCS is approved;

Ensure your child’s details, including their Customer Reference Number (CRN) and date of birth (for both child/ren and parent) are up to date in our system

Confirm the Camp Australia enrolment via MyGov

Once this is done your CCS will automatically be applied prior to your statement being issued to you.
