Fees & Benefits

Kidspace School Holiday Club is approved by the Australian Government to administer the Child Care Subsidy (CCS). The CCS provides families with assistance to help meet the cost of Vacation Care.

Most families receive some form of support from the government to reduce fees, even families on high incomes:

When the Child Care Subsidy commences on 2 July 2018, it will:

  • replace the Child Care Benefit (CCB) and Child Care Rebate (CCR) with a single, means-tested subsidy

  • be paid directly to providers to be passed on to families

  • be simpler than the current multi-payment system

  • be better targeted and provide more assistance to low and middle income families.

You can get an estimate of what your family may be entitled to by entering your details into the Department of Human Services Payment and Service Finder.

Child Care Subsidy Eligibility

Some basic requirements must be satisfied for an individual to be eligible to receive Child Care Subsidy for a child. These include:

  • the age of the child (must be 13 or under and not attending secondary school)

  • the child meeting immunisation requirements

  • the individual, or their partner, meets the residency requirements.

In addition, to be eligible for Child Care Subsidy the individual must be liable to pay for care provided, the care must be delivered in Australia by an approved child care provider, and not be part of a compulsory education program.

How does it work

There are three factors that will determine a family's level of Child Care Subsidy. These are:

The Child Care Subsidy will be paid directly to providers to be passed on to families as a fee reduction. Families will make a co-contribution to their child care fees and pay to the provider the difference between the fee charged and the subsidy amount.
