Fees and CCS: common questions
How much does childcare cost at Eastwood Blessings?
Our daily fees are $170.00 for babies (0–2 years), $166.00 for toddlers (2–3 years) and $156.00 for preschoolers (3–5 years). These are the full fees before the Child Care Subsidy (CCS) is applied.
The Child Care Subsidy (CCS) is an Australian Government subsidy. It is paid directly to us and comes off your fee, so you only pay the gap. Depending on your family income, CCS can cover up to 90% of the fee, up to an hourly limit set by the government.
Are these fees before or after the Child Care Subsidy?
Before. The figures shown are the full daily fee. Many families pay less, because CCS is taken off the fee before you are charged.
What is the Child Care Subsidy (CCS)?
The Child Care Subsidy (CCS) is an Australian Government subsidy. It is paid directly to us and comes off your fee, so you only pay the gap. Depending on your family income, CCS can cover up to 90% of the fee, up to an hourly limit set by the government. You apply for it through Services Australia, using your myGov account.
How much CCS will I get?
It depends mainly on your family income. Eligible families can receive up to 90%, up to the government’s hourly limit. Services Australia confirms your percentage once you apply. Tell us your days and your CCS percentage and we will work out what you would pay.
Are meals included in the fee?
Yes. Nutritious meals are prepared for the children and are included in the daily fee.
