$3.60
per session — instead of $36.00
≈ $10.80 per week · $432.00 per school year
Estimate only, based on the standard CCS rate — it doesn’t include the 5% government withholding or higher rates for additional children. Your actual subsidy is assessed by Services Australia. Fees shown are before-CCS session fees.
Less than you thought?
Find your school and secure your child’s spot in about 10 minutes. Nothing’s charged until after their first day — and only if they love it.

New: the CCS 3-Day Guarantee
From 5 January 2026, the Australian Government guarantees all CCS-eligible families at least 72 hours of subsidised child care per fortnight— that’s 3 days a week — regardless of your work or activity hours. No activity test, no conditions. It’s a government entitlement, not a provider promise.
72 hrs
per fortnight for families with less than 48 hours of recognised activity
100 hrs
per fortnight for families with more than 48 hours of recognised activity
The subsidy is paid directly to Amana OSHC — you only ever pay the gap, and we help you through every step of the CCS process at no extra cost.
How to apply for CCS
- Apply for the Child Care Subsidy through your myGov account (Centrelink).
- Add your child’s CRN and date of birth to your Amana enrolment.
- Confirm the enrolment in myGov when prompted — your subsidy then applies automatically to every session.
