At The Fern Early Learning Centres, we are committed to providing high-quality early childhood education that is accessible and affordable for families across Australia. We understand that managing childcare costs is a significant consideration, and we’re here to support you in navigating available financial assistance options.
The CCS reduces the cost of childcare for eligible families based on your income, activity level, and the type of childcare service you use.
If you’re eligible, the subsidy is paid directly to our centre, lowering your out-of-pocket fees. You simply pay the gap amount.
To claim CCS, ensure your child is enrolled in an approved childcare service like The Fern, and submit a claim through your MyGov account linked to Centrelink.
Our friendly Centre Directors are happy to guide you through the CCS process, estimate your subsidy, and explain your weekly fees.
Learn more about CCS on the Services Australia website.
At The Fern, we understand the joy and the juggle of raising more than one little explorer. That’s why we offer 10% off the daily fee* for every sibling who joins our centre, while their big brother or sister is enrolled with us. Whether your little ones are growing side by side or arriving years apart, we’re here to make your family’s journey more supported and a little more affordable.
*Terms and conditions apply. Please contact us for more information.
Fees depend on your chosen centre, the number of days your child is enrolled, and your Child Care Subsidy (CCS) eligibility.
