What is the Child Care Subsidy (CCS)?
Child Care Subsidy, also called CCS, is a way the Australian Government provides financial assistance to families to help cover the cost of approved child care.
Am I able to claim the Child Care Subsidy if I enrol at Kids Club?
All Kids Club services are Australian Government-approved childcare providers, so if Centrelink finds you eligible, you will receive CCS for your child’s enrolment at any of our centres.
Calculate your "out-of-pocket fees" at Kids Club here.
For forms for your Centrelink Customer Reference Number (CRN) visit www.centrelink.gov.au
and for information for your Childcare Benefit and Rebate visit www.humanservices.gov.au
How much will I be out-of-pocket after the Child Care Subsidy is applied?
CCS is means-tested based and depends on your circumstances. Centrelink determines your eligibility by considering your family’s income, the number of children you have in care and their ages, the hours worked by both parents/guardians, and other activities such as volunteer work. For example, if you earn over $80,000, you could be eligible for a subsidy of 90%. This will go down by 1% for each $5,000 of income your family earns.
To estimate your daily fees at our Kids Club services, please use our online CCS calculator.
What is the income limit for childcare subsidy in 2023?
From 10 July 2023, the income limit for the CC has increased to $530,000 - so if you were not eligible for CCS previously, you may be now. If this is you, we recommend you speak with Centrelink and have your eligibility assessed.
Who can get child care subsidy services in Australia?
To get CCS, you must:
- Use an approved child care service
- Be responsible for paying the child care fees
- Meet the residency and immunisations requirements
- Care for a child 13 or younger not attending secondary school unless an exemption applies
We encourage you to read the information on the Services Australia page 'Who can get it' for further guidance.

What is the Early Years Learning Framework?
The Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) is an Australian national early childhood education curriculum. It sets standards for the educational outcomes and developmental stages children should achieve before they begin primary school. The EYLF emphasises the importance of play-based learning, developing social and emotional skills, and working collaboratively with families and communities. It is designed to guide Educators in planning and implementing high-quality programs that support children’s learning and development during their early years.
What is the National Quality Standards?
The National Quality Standards (NQS) is a framework implemented in Australia to regulate and improve the quality of education and care services for children. Overseen by the Australian Children's Education and Care Quality Authority (ACECQA) in partnership with state and territory regulatory authorities, it sets a benchmark for early childhood education and care providers to ensure consistency in quality across the country.
The NQS encompasses seven quality areas essential for providing high-quality education and care to children. These include:
- Educational Program and Practice
- Children’s Healthy and Safety
- Physical Environments
- Staffing Arrangements
- Relationships with Children
- Collaborative Partnerships with Families and Communities
- Governance and Leadership
See how we align our seven core educational pillars with the National Quality Standards here.
What is a School Readiness Program?
School Readiness is a holistic view of a child’s learning in preparation for attending primary school. The Early Childhood Education and Care setting aims to enhance a child’s development and give them fundamental lifelong skills so they are sufficiently equipped to tackle their next schooling chapter.
School readiness is determined by much more than a child’s chronological age. To make a successful and happy start to school, children also need a firm grasp of language, motor coordination, and social and emotional skills. Kids Club has developed a six-core program for School Readiness - you can read more about it here.
Why is early childhood education important in Australia?
Early Childhood Education is vital in Australia, ensuring all children have access to high-quality, play-based early education and care services. We know that over 90% of a child's brain development happens in the first five years, making this period critical for their lifelong learning and well-being. By providing quality early education, we support children in developing essential social skills, fostering positive relationships, and enhancing their overall development. Early Childhood Education sets a strong foundation for children, enabling them to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally in later years.
What is the difference between 'Childcare' and 'early learning'?
While often used interchangeably, child care and early learning have distinct differences in focus and objectives. Child care primarily revolves around supervising and caring for children in the absence of parents or guardians, ensuring their safety, well-being, and meeting their basic needs. Early learning goes beyond this and emphasises the educational aspect of child development, recognising that young children are constantly learning and providing intentional learning experiences in a stimulating environment.
Early learning programs promote cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development through age-appropriate activities, play-based learning, and structured educational programs. These programs often follow a curriculum that fosters early literacy, numeracy, problem-solving, critical thinking, and other foundational skills.
While child care can include early learning activities, the key distinction lies in the intentional focus on educational experiences and developmentally appropriate practices within early learning programs.
What is the Child Care Subsidy (CCS)?
Child Care Subsidy, also called CCS, is a way the Australian Government provides financial assistance to families to help cover the cost of approved child care.

For children from birth to 24 months old, the ratio is 1:4 in all states and territories.
For children over 24 months and less than 36 months old, the ratio is 1:5 in all states and territories except Victoria, where the ratio is 1:4.
For children from 36 months up to and including preschool age, the ratio is 1:11 in the Australian Capital Territory, Northern Territory, Queensland, South Australia, and Victoria, and 1:10 in New South Wales. In Tasmania, the ratio is 1:10, or 2:25 for children attending a preschool program. In Western Australia, the ratio is 1:10.
For children over preschool age, the ratio is 1:15 in the Northern Territory, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria, and New South Wales. In the Australian Capital Territory, the ratio is 1:11. If no kindergarten children are present, the ratio is 1:10 for the first 12 children, then 1:13.

Kids Club Early Learning Centres firmly believes that collaborative partnerships with families and the broader community play a vital role in children's growth and development. We prioritise establishing meaningful connections with families and honouring their cultural and personal values, expectations, and viewpoints. We also actively engage with the local community to enhance our collective knowledge and skills, ensuring the best learning experiences for our children.
When a child requires additional support services, we prioritise their well-being and work collaboratively with the family to fulfill their specific needs. Our team is committed to advocating for all children and supporting families throughout their child's enrolment.
We recognise that families are an integral part to their child's learning journey and offer them various opportunities to participate and share ideas in their education. Our partnerships are grounded in mutual respect, effective communication, and shared responsibility for the child's development. Our program aligns with the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), prioritising children's sense of belonging, being, and becoming. Additionally, we provide exciting extracurricular activities designed to spark children's passion for learning.
We value our families' feedback and offer several avenues for them to provide input on our services, including online surveys, verbal communication with our Directors and Educators, and attending family events throughout the year. We believe that this feedback is crucial to our continuous improvement efforts and enables us to provide the best possible care for our children.
