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.

Childcare Subsidy

What is the CCS?

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.

Our friendly Centre Directors are happy to guide you through the CCS process, estimate your subsidy, and explain your weekly fees.

Learn more about CCS on the Services Australia website.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much are the daily fees at Community Kids Haven?

Our daily fees at Community Kids Haven vary slightly depending on the centre location and the number of days booked. These fees cover high-quality education and care, nutritious meals, nappies, and learning resources. To get a personalised fee estimate, please contact your nearest centre.

Are there any additional fees I should be aware of?

Our daily fees at Community Kids Haven cover inclusions such as meals, nappies, wipes, incursions and excursions. Late pick-ups extending after the 6:30pm closing time will incur a late pick-up fee.

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).
