You can claim Child Care Benefit by completing and lodging a claim form at any Family Assistance Office located at Centrelink Customer Service Centres and Medicare Australia or by using the online services.

The Child Care Rebate helps working families with the cost of child care. The Child Care Rebate covers 50 per cent of out-of-pocket child care expenses for approved child care like Bright Early Learning Centre for up to a maximum of $7,500 per year per child.
