The NSW government is offering assistance to help with the cost of approved child care. The Child Care Subsidy (CCS) is paid directly to providers to reduce the fees you pay. 

The amount you get depends on the following:

• Your family’s income
• The type of child care you use
• The age of your child 
• The hours of recognised activities you and your partner do.

Additional Child Care Subsidy is extra support for some families. This includes grandparents and great grandparents, families moving from an income support payment to work and those experiencing temporary financial hardship.
