When enrolling at Being, you will nominate specific days of the week that your child will be booked to attend our service (weekly bookings). Each booking at Being is allocated to a session that has a daily fee associated with it (daily session rate).
Every Being service has its own unique catalogue of sessions and daily session rates which are designed to meet the individual needs of the community. These may change from time to time.
Your total weekly fees will be calculated as the number of weekly bookings times by the applicable daily session rate.
In attending Being, you may be entitled to receive the Child Care Subsidy (otherwise known as CCS). CCS is a Commonwealth subsidy administered through Centrelink. If you are eligible for CCS, a portion of your fees will be subsidised on a weekly basis through payments made directly to Being (weekly CCS subsidy). You are required to pay the remaining fee (your weekly gap fee).
Weekly gap fee = Total weekly fees - weekly CCS subsidy
Your weekly gap fee is your out of pocket expense.
How do I calculate my weekly CCS subsidy?
As this calculation takes in a number of factors, we recommend using Service Australia's calculator which we reference here. If you are already attending Being, we can provide you with a Statement of Eligibility with your exact current eligibility.
