Awesome news for many young families who receive the Child Care Subsidy
The Australian Government is making changes to the Child Care Subsidy. The Government has removed the annual cap of $10,655 per child per financial year for families earning more than $190,015.
This change is effective from 10 December 2021 and is backdated to the start of the 2021-22 financial year.
If a family has already reached the CCS annual cap before 10 December, their CCS may have stopped. Services Australia will automatically reassess their CCS entitlement for this time. They will back pay CCS for affected sessions of care.
Furthermore, from 7 March 2022, Services Australia will also increase Child Care Subsidy for eligible families who earn less than $354,305 and have more than one child in childcare aged 5 or younger. You don’t need to do anything as the changes will be automatically applied.
