Estimate only, based on published 2025–26 rates. Services Australia withholds 5% of your subsidy until your income is balanced. Your actual entitlement is determined by Services Australia.
Plus Start Strong funding for 3–5 year olds
Kidopia also receives NSW Government Start Strong funding for children aged 3 to 5 years. It further reduces preschool fees and applies in addition to the Child Care Subsidy, so your real out-of-pocket cost may be lower than the estimate above.
Kidopia is an approved service, so eligible families can claim the Australian Government Child Care Subsidy (CCS), which is paid directly to us and reduces your weekly fee. The amount depends on your family income, your activity level and your child's age. Prefer to talk it through? Call (02) 9482 1275 and we will do the maths with you.
