At Community Kids Haven, we are committed to providing high-quality early childhood education that is accessible and affordable for families across Australia. We understand that managing childcare costs is a significant consideration, and we’re here to support you in navigating available financial assistance options.
The CCS reduces the cost of childcare for eligible families based on your income, activity level, and the type of childcare service you use.
How it works:
If you’re eligible, the subsidy is paid directly to our centre, lowering your out-of-pocket fees. You simply pay the gap amount.
How to apply:
To claim CCS, ensure your child is enrolled in an approved childcare service like The Fern, and submit a claim through your MyGov account linked to Centrelink.
Need help?
Our friendly Centre Directors are happy to guide you through the CCS process, estimate your subsidy, and explain your weekly fees.

What is the Child Care Subsidy (CCS) and how does it work?
The CCS is a government subsidy that helps families with the cost of childcare. The amount you receive depends on:
Your family income
The number of hours of activity (like work or study) you do each fortnight
The type of childcare service you use
Community Kids Haven is a CCS-approved provider, and we can help guide you through the process.
Do I need to pay full fees before CCS is applied?
No, once your CCS has been approved and linked to our service, your out-of-pocket fees will reflect the subsidy amount. We will only charge you the gap fee (the difference between our full fee and your CCS amount).
