Apportioning hours of Child Care Subsidy (CCS) 007-20022042

Example

A customer is entitled to 72 hours of CCS per fortnight based on their Activity Test Result.

Their child attends 2 child care services:

• a Centre Based Day Care centre for 3 days a week, and
• Family Day Care for 2 days a week

To maximise their CCS benefit, the customer apportions:

• 60 hours per fortnight to the Centre Based Day Care, and
• 12 hours to the Family Day Care

CCS will be paid for the days the child attends the Centre Based Day Care where the customer’s out-of-pocket expenses are higher.
