Get help with child care fees for school holiday care

Published: 31 March 2026

Child Care Subsidy (CCS) can help with the cost of child care, before and after school care, and holiday care.

CCS can reduce the fees you have to pay and is paid directly to your child care service.

The amount of CCS you can get depends on:

  • your family’s income
  • the number of children in your care
  • your family circumstances and the recognised participation you and your partner do
  • the type of child care you use, including before and after school care and holiday care
  • your child’s age.

Find out more about who can get CCS.
