Child Care Subsidy (CCS)
The Australian Government's Child Care Subsidy (CCS) is a financial assistance program designed to help families with the cost of approved childcare services. This support makes childcare more affordable, allowing parents to participate in work, study, or other activities. The subsidy amount you receive depends on factors such as your family's income, the type of childcare service you use, and your child's enrolled hours of care. For eligibility and claiming the CCS, please click this link
​
To claim Child Care Subsidy the Enrolments Officer must be provided with the Primary Carer and child’s CRN (Customer Reference Number), found via MyGov>Centrelink.
NSW Government Start Strong Relief
Elonera Montessori School offers the NSW Government Start Strong Fee Relief to our families with children attending our Long Day Care service (ages 3 and 4). This fee relief program is part of their Early Years Commitment program and is additional to the Child Care Subsidy (CCS).
