At Inspira Kids, we offer a stimulating and nurturing environment to support your child’s growth. Our program offers a thoughtfully crafted curriculum, opportunities for socializing with other children, and qualified educators who are experts in the field of early childhood education.
What is Commonwealth Childcare Subsidy (CCS)?
The Commonwealth Childcare Subsidy (CCS) is a financial assistance program offered by the Australian Government to help eligible families with the cost of childcare. This program provides a subsidy to reduce the out-of-pocket expenses that families pay for childcare.
Is Inspira Kids a CCS (childcare subsidy) approved provider?
Yes, Inspira Kids is an approved Child Care Subsidy (CCS) provider. If you have any questions or concerns, our team is more than happy to help you make the most of the CCS.
How much CCS can I receive?
The amount of CCS you can receive depends on your family’s income, the type of child care you use, the number of hours of approved child care you use per fortnight, the number of children below 5 years old you have in childcare, and the activity level of the parent with the lowest hours of work, study, or training.
