MOSHC services are subsidised by the government through the Child Care Subsidy (CCS). You must meet some basic requirements that include:

• care for a child 13 or younger who’s not attending secondary school, unless an exemption applies.

• use an approved child care service (MOSHC is approved).

• be responsible for paying the childcare fees.

• meet residency and immunisation requirements.

To receive an estimate of CCS funding available, you can access Starting Block CCS Calculator and Services Australia for more detailed information. The level of CCS funding you can recieve depends on three factors that includes, combined family income, activity test, and service type.

How does CCS work?

CCS is paid directly to the service provider, families will receive this as a reduction in their fees (up to 90%). Families will make a co-contribution to the fees and pay the remianing amount the provider (also known as a gap payment).

Note: Additional, targeted fee assistance are available for vulnerable families.

Parking spaces are available outside the staff carpark (opposite KFC and Woolworths). Please note that the staff carpark can only be accessed by staff members.
