Child Care Subsidy payments for eligible families are paid by Centrelink directly to Mint Child Care & Kindy thereby reducing your out-of-pocket expense on child care fees. The amount of subsidy depends on your circumstances.
You must make a CCS claim via Centrelink immediately after enrolling your child at Mint Child Care & Kindy. You can do this using your online Centrelink account.

are designed to target support to those families that are genuinely in need, and ensure that cost is not a barrier to commencing or continuing with child care.
