About the hourly rate cap: The government calculates CCS based on an hourly rate cap of $14.63/hr (equivalent to $146.30 for a 10-hour day). If your centre's daily fee is higher than the cap, the subsidy is only calculated on $146.30 — not the full fee.
About the 5% withholding: The government withholds 5% of your CCS entitlement as a buffer against overpayments. This is reconciled at tax time and may be returned to you.
⚠️ This is an estimate only. Actual CCS entitlements depend on your activity test, immunisation status, and other factors assessed by Services Australia. For accurate information, visit Services Australia
