More Affordable Early Education and Care in 2023
From 10 July 2023, the Commonwealth Government Child Care Subsidy (CCS) is making high-quality early education and care more affordable for Australian families.
What's Changing?
- If your family earns less than $80,000 per year your Child Care Subsidy rates will increase from 85% to 90%.
- Your Child Care Subsidy rates will decrease 1% for every additional $5,000 earned over $80,000.
- If your family earns under $530,000 per year, you'll receive increased Child Care Subsidy rates.
- Families with more than one child aged 5 or under, with income below $356,756 can still get a higher rate for their second and younger children.
- First Nations children will be eligible for at least 36 hours of subsidised care per fortnight. Families can get more subsidised hours based on their circumstances.
