If you have identified that you were eligible for the Child Care Subsidy in previous financial years, but have not received it, you can lodge a lump-sum claim with the Family Assistance Office. You must do this within two years of the end of the financial year for which you are claiming.

As can be seen in table 1.3, families with combined adjusted taxable incomes under $69 391 will receive a Child Care Subsidy rate of 85 per cent of the hourly cap depending on the type of child care you use (shown in table 1.4), reducing to 20 per cent for those families with incomes over $343 680 with no subsidy for family incomes over $353 680. An annual cap of $10 560 per child applies to families with incomes over $189 390.
