To help families with the cost of child care services, the government provides assistance through the Child Care Subsidy (CCS) scheme
Paisley Park is an approved childcare provider. Therefore, if your family is eligible, you’ll receive CCS support from the government to assist you with your childcare fees.
We encourage families to contact Centrelink early in the process of considering your childcare options to ensure your subsidy is in place prior to your child’s start date.
You can check your eligibility with the federal government.
Many states across Australia are now funding approved Early Learning Services, such as Paisley Park, to provide subsidised or free Kinder for eligible children aged 3 and 4.
Each state is at various stages of implementing initiatives linked to funding, which Paisley Park is supporting.
We currently have Kinder Funding for Victoria and Start Strong funding for New South Wales.
Your childcare fees will vary depending on the age of your child, the hours and attendance pattern you need and the centre your child will be attending.
Note Re Session Duration
Our standard session is a 12-hour day. This duration results in the best out-of-pocket outcomes for most families eligible for CCS. The main exceptions where shorter days may be the better option are:
1. families who are not eligible for CCS
2. families eligible for 100 hours CCS per fortnight who want to enrol their child for five 10-hour days per week
3. families enrolling siblings
Our Enrolments Team is available to discuss your family’s needs, answer any questions you have and help you calculate your estimated childcare fees and out-of-pocket expenses.
