About the Child Care Subsidy

The Child Care Subsidy (CCS) is paid by the Australian Government directly to our service, reducing the fees your family is charged. Most families using OSHC receive CCS.

To receive CCS, lodge a claim with Services Australia through myGov before or soon after enrolment, and confirm your child’s enrolment details when prompted. Our team is happy to help families through the process.
