Guest Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Hello, Does anyone have experience of registering for the CCS, having sold a property in the UK before arriving in Australia? I know this is quite specific! I have some queries i'd appreciate running past someone (online info is not clear). Thanks a million Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisawright Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 As far as I know, the CCS is subject to an income test only, not an assets test. So it won't matter how much money you have sitting in the bank. Have you tried the Payment and Services Finder linked on this page: https://www.servicesaustralia.gov.au/how-much-child-care-subsidy-you-can-get?context=41186 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I don't understand. Did the tool suggest that you wouldn't be eligible for CCS? The tool asks about assets and home ownership because it covers all payments including some which are assets tested, like the aged pension. Where have you seen something which suggests assets are tested for the CCS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 The application (not the guidance) asks for home status (renting) and if you have sold a home in the last 24 months. It does not specify if this only applies to Australia or outside of Australia. This is why I asked in the first instance, if someone who had recently completed this and had sold a home could please help me with some questions.
