Secure Your Child’s Spot with the 3 Day Guarantee in 2026
Starting January 2026, the Australian Government is introducing the 3 Day Guarantee for all families eligible for the Child Care Subsidy (CCS). This exciting initiative ensures that every eligible child can access at least 3 days of subsidised care per week, helping families save on early learning costs while giving children more opportunities to learn, grow, and thrive.
What is the 3 Day Guarantee?
The 3 Day Guarantee means eligible families are entitled to a minimum of 72 hours of subsidised early learning care every fortnight, which works out to 3 full days per week. This guarantee applies to all families receiving CCS, making early childhood education more affordable and accessible than ever before.
Why the 3 Day Guarantee Benefits Families
Affordable, Predictable Care
Planning your child’s care has never been easier. With the 3 Day Guarantee, families can secure a set number of subsidised days each week, giving you peace of mind and predictable costs.
Flexible Options for Your Family
Whether you’re a working parent, studying, or looking for occasional care, the 3 Day Guarantee allows you to choose days that fit your schedule without worrying about availability or excessive costs.
More Opportunities for Your Child
Every additional day in early learning provides your child with social, emotional, and cognitive benefits. From learning new skills and making friends to exploring creative activities, the more days your child attends, the more they benefit from structured, quality early learning experiences.
Why Current Families Should Consider Increasing Their Days
If your child is already enrolled, now is the perfect time to increase their days and make the most of the 3 Day Guarantee. Adding days means:
More subsidised care, making additional days more affordable
Enhanced learning opportunities for your child through consistent routines
