Work & Income Subsidies

Please note processing times are approximately 9 weeks for new subsidy applications

​

What are the maximum hours for a subsidy?

If you are in work or study, or if you have special circumstances that mean you need access to childcare, you can get a childcare subsidy for up to 20 hours per week during term time, and up to 50 hours during school holidays.

​

Special circumstances might mean, for example, that you need to care for a sick partner, or that you need to attend regular medical treatment for yourself. If you are not in work or study you can get a Childcare Subsidy for up to nine hours a week.

After School Fun Club has a dedicated WINZ co-ordinator.  We liaise between you and Work and Income to make the process easier.

​

All WINZ forms need to be completed and signed off by the parent/caregiver applying.  Forms can then be emailed to us or given to a staff member for the processing to begin.  Documentation that is required is identification (if WINZ do not have this on file) and your latest payslip.

​

Approximately 6 weeks before then end of each school term you will be mailed a WINZ declaration form.  We require this to be completed and returned to us for processing of the following term and/or school holidays.

​

An email reminder will be sent out.  If you do not receive anything in the mail - please check MYMSD for copies, otherwise you can download them below (one for each child is needed)

Annually a review form will be mailed to you also need to be completed and signed off by us
