Child Care Subsidy

We are a CCS approved provider.

The Child Care Subsidy is an Australian Government payment that reduces the cost of approved childcare. Your fees are processed directly through the subsidy system and you only pay the gap.

The amount you receive depends on your combined household income, your fortnightly hours of work, study or volunteering, and the type of care your child uses. Most families in inner-north Perth receive a meaningful reduction. Some pay very little.

FAQ

Questions Mount Lawley parents often ask

What is OSHC and is it the same as childcare?

OSHC stands for Outside School Hours Care. It covers care for primary school-aged children before school, after school and during school holidays. Many parents search for "childcare in Mount Lawley" when they actually want OSHC. Both terms will lead you to Happy Hive.

The key difference is that OSHC is for school-aged children from age 4 up, while long day care covers younger children who are not yet at school. Happy Hive Mount Lawley offers OSHC and the WA Kindy programme for ages 4 to 12. We do not offer infant or toddler long day care at this location.

How does the Child Care Subsidy (CCS) work?

The Child Care Subsidy is an Australian Government payment that reduces the cost of approved childcare. Happy Hive Mount Lawley is a CCS approved provider for Before School Care, After School Care, Vacation Care and the Kindy programme.

The amount depends on your household income and hours of recognised activity. You apply through your myGov account, the subsidy is paid directly to us, and you pay the gap. Some families have up to 90% of fees covered.

We provide Before School Care and After School Care for students at Mount Lawley Primary School. Additional school partnerships are being confirmed.
