Calculate your Childcare Subsidy Entitlements
Navigating early education subsidies shouldn't feel like a hurdle. At Cove, we work closely with you to maximise the federal Child Care Subsidy (CCS) alongside the NSW Government's Start Strong fee relief program.
Because our preschool programs meet the highest national standards, these support initiatives work in perfect harmony to make our premium, all-inclusive standard of care beautifully affordable.
Our friendly team is always on hand to calculate your estimated weekly out-of-pocket expenses and manage all the paperwork for you. Simply call or email us.
