Childcare Costs & Subsidy

Each centre’s fees are different. It is best to contact your individual centre where they can provide you a quote based on your subsidies.

To ensure you get the maximum rebate possible, we have an all inclusive fee for our school care programs.

Our excursions and after school dance and sports activities are included in the daily rate. As well as breakfast, afternoon tea and morning tea in school holidays.

Our Long Day Care and Kindergarten fees include home cooked meals, nappies and activities such as music and dance or gross motor program (these vary from centre to centre).

Do I get any fee subsidies?

The best idea is to phone the Family Assistance Office 136150 to find out your eligibility. They are open until 8pm at night, so often 7:45pm is a great time to call. The current subsidies are Child Care Subsidy (means tested) and Kindergarten Funding (for the year before school).

Also, make sure your child’s immunisation schedule is current; you won’t be able to receive benefits if it isn’t.

Understanding Child Care Subsidies

The Australian government helps families cover the costs of childcare with two types of financial assistance; the Child Care Subsidy and Kindergarten Funding (for the year before your child starts school).

To be eligible to receive payments from either, your child must be enrolled in an approved child care centre; Amaze is proud to be an Approved Child Care Centre.

You can find out more about both types of assistance, and other eligibility requirements at mychild.gov.au.
