Child Care Subsidy

Pico ELC offer’s each family flexible session times to ensure you make the most of your eligible subsidised hours.

Child care subsidy works on three factors:

  1. Work -related activity you and your partner undertake each fortnight. This includes paid work, volunteering, study and other activities which can be found through www.servicesaustralia.gov.au
  2. Your total combined family income.
  3. The service type-this can be long day care or outside-hours care such as vacation care.

Our Top Tip

  • CCS is applied for through your MyGov Account that is linked to Centrelink.
  • Apply for CCS as soon as you find a centre that you and your child are happy with. This way, it will be set up and ready to go for your child’s first day of care.
  • To begin receiving your CCS – you will need to accept our Enrolment once we have entered in your child’s details – this is also done through the MYGOV account.

To optimize your CCS and minimize your out of pocket expenses.
We offer 9 & 10 hour sessions to go along with our existing full day session.
Families will have the flexibility to choose the option that best suits them and their needs.
