Child Care Subsidy (CCS) balancing has started
Services Australia has started balancing CCS for the 2025–26 financial year.
If you get CCS, you need to confirm your family income so your payments can be balanced.
You can confirm your 2025–26 income by:
• lodging your tax return (and your partner's) with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO), or
• telling Services Australia you do not need to lodge a tax return (even if you have already told the ATO).
Once your CCS has been balanced, Services Australia will send you the result.
For more information, visit the Services Australia website.

What you need to do to balance your Child Care Subsidy (CCS) depends on your circumstances.
