This is an estimate only. What you actually receive depends on your family's circumstances as assessed by Services Australia, and the rates change every July. For a figure you can rely on, use the government's own calculator or speak to Centrelink.

Calculated using the Child Care Subsidy rates effective from 6 July 2026.
