Public holidays are charged at the normal daily fee. Families will be eligible for the Child Care Subsidy (CCS) for public holidays if they have not exceeded allowable yearly absences.
The reason why most childcare centres in Australia do this is because childcare centre employees are permanent and running costs are annualised (such as rent).
Centres rely on ongoing, daily fees in order to keep up with these costs, hence why they are unable to offer public holidays free of charge to parents.
Families can get CCS when their child is absent from a session of care they would normally attend for up to 42 days per child, per financial year. Families can use their absence days for any reason, including sick days and public holidays. They don’t need to provide evidence.
Families can use their 42 allowable absences for short term travel overseas. However, families will stop being eligible for CCS after 6 weeks overseas. Learn more about payments to families overseas. In shared care arrangements, the allowable absences count is allocated to the child, not to each individual parent.
If a child is enrolled in more than 1 session of care on the same day (such as before and after school care) and is absent for 1 of those sessions, it is counted as 1 absence day.
