Child Care Subsidy (CCS) Assistance

The Child Care Subsidy helps cover fees for eligible families with children aged 0-13. The subsidy is paid directly to the service, reducing your out-of-pocket costs.

To apply:

  1. Sign in to your MyGov account (or create one if needed).
  2. Link MyGov to Centrelink under Services.
  3. Complete the CCS Assessment.

All WCS Education and Care Services are approved to operate under the Children’s Education and Care Assurance (CECA). 

For more information on eligibility and the process, visit the Services Australia website.

 

Fees and Payments

WCS follows a payment-in-advance model. Details about fee schedules and payment processes can be found in our handbooks:
