Which Session Suits Me?
Make the most of your Child Care Subsidy. Choose the session which best suits your needs. Talk to our Director and we can help you determine if you qualify to receive the Child Care Subsidy (CSS) and provide you with a quote. Some families can also get extra support on top of the CSS through the Additional Child Care Subsidy (ACCS).

Fees
Ally’s Kindy is an approved Australian child care centre. This means families who are eligible for the Child Care Subsidy (CCS), additional Child Care Subsidy (ACCS) or other payments will be able to link to our centre through their myGov account.
To learn more about the government’s Child Care Subsidy and your entitlement, visit our Child Care Subsidy page.
The CCS, ACCS and other Child Care Package payments reduce the true cost of childcare fees for eligible families and is paid directly to our centre.
For fees which aren’t paid directly to us, you need to tell us in advance how you would like to make these payments.
Check our What’s Provided page to learn what’s included in our Child Care Fees, or speak to our Centre Director when you visit for a tour.
When you enrol in our centre, we’ll work with you to complete a Complying Written Agreement (CWA) which lists your normal permanent days and also allows for convenient casual care bookings.
