π’ National Childcare Scheme Update
Important changes to the National Childcare Scheme (NCS) have now come into effect, with increased Income-Assessed subsidies expected to benefit up to 47,000 children.
The changes include increased income thresholds and an enhanced Multiple Child Discount, meaning many families may now qualify for a higher level of childcare support.
Families currently receiving an Income-Assessed subsidy will have eligible awards updated automatically, while those receiving the Universal subsidy are encouraged to check whether they may now qualify for a higher Income-Assessed rate.
