The Child Care Subsidy is an Australian Government initiative that assists families with the cost of childcare.

- Eligibility: Factors such as family income, activity levels (work, study, training), and the type of childcare service used determine eligibility and subsidy percentage. ​

- Subsidy Amount: The subsidy covers a portion of childcare fees, with the percentage varying based on the combined family income.​
