Child Care Benefit

Child Care Benefit (CCB) is a payment made to families to assist with the costs of child care. All Australian residents are entitled to receive a minimum payment of the Child Care Benefit(CCB). To receive this you must be registered with the Family Assistance Office (FAO) located in Centrelink, Medicare and ATOs.

Once you have registered with the FAO you will receive CCB as either a fee reduction or lump sum payment following the end of the financial year. The FAO will notify the Centre of your nominated method. If you choose a weekly reduction in fees, the percentage of fee relief for your family will then be calculated by the Centre who will inform you of your daily adjusted fee.
