The amount of Child Care Subsidy (CCS) you are entitled to will depend on four things:
- How much ‘recognised’ activity you and your partner undertake each fortnight.
- The entitlement is based on the lesser activity figure for a member of a couple.
- What your combined family income is. The child care fees you pay (hourly rate caps apply for each service type).
- The number and age of children you have in 'approved' care.
