Childcare Subsidy Calculator

This subsidy, provided by the government, helps alleviate the cost burden for various types of childcare, such as Centre Based Day Care, Family Day Care, or Outside School Hours Care.

The amount of subsidy a family receives is a percentage of the childcare centre’s daily rates. This percentage is paid directly to childcare providers, who then apply it as a discount on the family’s bill. Families are responsible for paying the difference between the daily fee and the subsidy amount.

Penrith Early Learning Centre facilities is approved to receive the Child Care Subsidy.

When estimating your out-of-pocket costs using a CCS calculator, it’s important to remember that Penrith Early Learning Centre functions as a Long Day Care. Standard daily fees are charged for the 10 to 11.5 hours of operation each day.

For those new to childcare, it’s advisable to apply for the subsidy promptly to understand your eligibility and make an informed decision when enrolling in a childcare centre. Additional information and guidance can be obtained from Services Australia.
