Changes to CCS from July 2023

From July 2023, most families using childcare will get more Child Care Subsidy (CCS). Here’s what you need to know:

• The maximum amount of CCS is increasing from 85% to 90%.
• Families earning $80,000 or less will get 90% subsidy.
• Families earning over $80,000 and under $530,000 will get a subsidy that tapers down from 90%, depending on their income. The subsidy will go down by 1% for each $5,000 earned.
• Families with more than one child aged 5 or under can still get a higher rate for their second and younger children.

More information and resources will be available over the coming weeks and months.
