The New Child Care Subsidy (CCS)

On the 2 July 2018, the new Child Care Subsidy (CCS) system came into effect. The subsidy replaced the previous Child Care Benefit (CCB) and Child Care Rebate (CCR) and is paid directly to services.

The Australian Government’s child care package provides more support for more families and is targeted at those who need it most. Now fully implemented, it represents the most significant change to the early learning and care system in 40 years.

We are a not for-profit organisation with a strong heritage in early childhood education in Queensland and Australia. The Brisbane Lady Gowrie Child Centre was established in 1940 as a demonstration centre for excellence in early childhood education and care.

Lady Gowrie QLD acknowledge the traditional custodians of the lands on which our Services are placed, and pay our respects to the elders, past and present, who have raised children, taught them about the world around them and bestowed on them the gift of culture and language.
