If your family has already completed their Child Care Subsidy assessment, the person who has logged into MyGov and completed it on behalf of their family will be sent a notice of the outcome once Centrelink has finalised the assessment or claim.
If the family member has elected to receive their updates online, the letter will be sent to their MyGov inbox telling them if they are eligible and if so, informing them of the level of child care fee assistance they will receive.
The individual needs to select Child Care Subsidy from the menu and then Child Care Subsidy Summary to see the letter.
The Child Care Subsidy summary table lists the Child’s Name, Subsidy Type, Subsidy Percentage, Subsidised hours per fortnight, the annual cap and withholding amount.
Once you have received this information, you may also find it useful to read the guidance about understanding your assessment and how it impacts your family, available on the Department of Human Services (DHS) webpage here.
You should also report your subsidy rate and eligible hours to your Nominated Supervisor (Manager/Director) at your early learning centre so that you can to discuss possible attendance patterns that best work for you.
