We understand that each family has different circumstances.
When it comes to sending your child to day care many parents may feel limited with what options are readily available. At My Cubby House Early Learning, we provide a range of options so you can find something that will suit your families lifestyle. You may also be eligible for the Government Child Care Subsidy to make your child’s care more affordable.

Child Care Subsidy (CCS)
As of 2 July 2018, the Child Care Subsidy (CCS) replaced Child Care Benefit (CCB) and Child Care Rebate (CCR) as the sole means-tested subsidy available to assist families with the cost of child care.
The amount of Child Care Subsidy you are eligible for is based on three factors:
1. How many hours of ‘work-related’ activity you and your partner undertake each fortnight. If a couple, the number of subsidised hours will be based on the partner with the lowest hours of activity.
| Hours of activity per fortnight | Maximum number of hours of subsidy per fortnight |
| Less than 8 hours | 0 hours if you earn above $80,000 24 hours if you earn $80,000or below |
| 8 to 16 hours | 36 hours |
| More than 16 to 48 hours | 72 hours |
| More than 48 hours | 100 hours |
2. Your combined family income
| Combined Family Income | Subsidy received as a % of fee charged (up to hourly rate cap) |
| $0 to $80,000 | 90% |
More than $80,000 to below $530,000
| Between 90% and 0%. The percentage goes down by 1% for every $5,000 of income your family earns above $80,000 |
| $530,000 or more | 0% |
If you have more than one child aged 5 or younger, you may get a higher rate for one or more of your children.
You can still claim CCS even if your family income estimate is $530,000 or more. If you actually earn less than this, we’ll pay you the subsidy you’re entitled to. We’ll do this when we balance your payments at the end of the financial year.

3. The hourly rate cap based on the type of approved child care you use.
| Combined Family Income | Subsidy received as a % of fee charged (up to hourly rate cap) |
| $0 to $80,000 | 90% |
| More than $80,000 to below $530,000 | Between 90% and 0% The percentage goes down by 1% for every $5,000 of income your family earns |
As a long day care service, the hourly rate cap for My Cubby House Early Learning is $12.31
Further information about the Child Care Subsidy including what constitutes work-related activity can be found on the Department of Human Services website.
You can get an estimate of what your family may be entitled to by entering your details into the Department of Human Services Payment and Service Finder.
If you know your hours of activity per fortnight and combined family income, the CCS Calculator is a useful tool to calculate your out-of-pocket expenses based on the number of days and hours your child will attend our centre and the daily rate for their age group.
