Parent Involvement

We operate an OPEN DOOR POLICY, where parents and family are welcome into the Centre at ANYTIME. Parent participation sends strong positive messages to your child that you support them and are part of the child care environment.  There are many levels of PARENT PARTICIPATION and we appreciate that time is of a premium for all parents, but we will be willing to accommodate any form of involvement you may desire to assist you and your child, which will ultimately benefit the whole Centre.  The staff sincerely wishes for you and your child to be happy and feel welcomed at our Centre. Be aware that a three way relationship between parents, care givers and the child exists in this setting. Communication is a vital ingredient to the success of this partnership.


Child Care Subsidy (CCS)

The Child Care Subsidy (CCS) is a government payment designed to help families with the cost of childcare. Below is some key information about the subsidy, eligibility, and how it works.

What is the Child Care Subsidy?

The CCS is the primary way the Australian Government assists families with childcare costs. The subsidy is paid directly to childcare providers to reduce the fees families pay. The amount of CCS you can receive depends on several factors, such as your family’s income, your activity level, and the type of childcare service your child attends.

Who is Eligible?

To receive the CCS, families must meet the following criteria: 1. Residency: The child must meet immunisation requirements, and both the parent and child must meet residency requirements. 2. Childcare Use: The child must attend an approved childcare service. 3. Income Test: Family income determines the percentage of childcare fees subsidised. 4. Activity Test: The number of hours subsidised depends on the amount of work, study, training, or other recognised activity undertaken by both parents (or a single parent in single-parent households). How to Apply for CCS 1. Create a MyGov Account: Link your MyGov account to Services Australia. 2. Lodge a Claim: Log in to Services Australia via MyGov and complete the CCS application form. 3. Provide Information: Supply details about your family’s income, activity levels, and your child’s enrolment. Once approved, Services Australia will notify you and your childcare provider. Your subsidy will be applied directly to your childcare fees.
