Child Care Subsidy

Learn about the Child Care Subsidy (CCS) entitlements available to St Nicholas families

What is the Child Care Subsidy?

The CCS is a government payment available to families to help cover the costs of childcare. The subsidy is paid directly to your child care provider to reduce the amount of out-of-pocket fees that you pay. Your out-of-pocket costs depend on how much CCS you are entitled to, depending on your family’s individual situation.

Vacation Care

Submit an enrolment enquiry for Before and After School Care or Vacation Care. One of our friendly team members will be in touch as soon as possible.

Please note:

Submitting an enrolment enquiry does not constitute a confirmed booking. No booking is confirmed until you have received confirmation from St Nicholas.
For casual and Vacation Care bookings, we have a 5-day cancellation policy, after which the parent/carer will be liable for their full fees for that session. For permanent bookings, we have a 2-week cancellation policy.
One-off cancellations for permanent bookings still require the parent/carer to pay their full fees for that session, unless the cancellation is permanent, in which case the family will forfeit their permanent place for that session.
