Who can get it?



You may get a Childcare Subsidy if you are:
  • The main carer of a dependent child
  • A New Zealand citizen or permanent resident
  • You should also normally live in New Zealand and intend to stay here
  • It also depends on how much you and your spouse or partner earn


The child must be:
Under five years old (or under six years if you get a Child Disability Allowance for them)
Attending an early childhood programme for three or more hours a week.

A Childcare Subsidy is normally paid for up to nine hours of childcare a week. In some situations you may be able to get up to 50 hours a week. 

If you are claiming 20 hours ECE you can’t get Childcare Subsidy for those hours.
