FamilyBoost is a childcare payment to help eligible households pay for the cost of early childhood education (ECE).
If you're eligible you will be able to claim up to 25% of your weekly childcare fees, or a maximum of $975 every 3-months. Childcare fees can include optional charges and services.
Claims for FamilyBoost are for the household, not for each individual child.
FamilyBoost can be claimed for the following quarters:
- July to September
- October to December
- January to March
- April to June.
What you will be able to get is based on what you earn.

| Up to $140,000 | $975 |
| $150,000 | $731.25 |
