From Child Care Subsidy · Social Services · the same audio you get when you practise.
Good morning, welcome to Centrelink. I understand you'd like to apply for the Child Care Subsidy for your son. May I have your customer reference number first?
你好。是的，我儿子明年二月满三岁，我想送他去幼儿园。这是我的客户参考号。请问这个补贴是发给我，还是直接发给幼儿园？
The subsidy goes directly to your child care provider, so you only pay the gap fee. Under this year's Three Day Guarantee, most families get at least three subsidised days each week.
三天保障是什么意思？我先生全职工作，我现在在家照顾孩子。像我们这样的家庭，每周能有几天的补贴？
