At Oz Education, we are committed to providing cheaper child care services at an affordable cost to all families.
From 10 July 2023, if your family earns under $530,000, you’ll get an increased Child Care Subsidy (CCS). The maximum amount of CCS is increasing from 85% to 90% and the CCS percentage you’re entitled to depends on your family’s income as below:
• If your family earns $80,000 and over, your CCS percentage will go down by 1% for each $5,000 income your family makes. You’ll either get more subsidy or have no change to your entitlement.
• If your family earns $80,000 or less, you will get an increased maximum CCS amount, from 85% to 90%.
• If your family earns $350,000 – $529,000, you will now be eligible for CCS between 0.1 -20%.
• If your family earns below $362,408 with more than one child aged 5 or under in care, you can still get a higher subsidy rate of up to 95% for one or more of your children.
The low-income limit for Additional Child Care Subsidy Transition to Work will also increase to $80,000. If you already get CCS, you don’t need to do anything to get the increased rate. We’ll apply changes to your CCS automatically.
