Flexible Childcare Assistance

Flexible Childcare Assistance is an employment support payment that helps caregivers with the costs of informal childcare (e.g., a babysitter) when they are unable to access formal childcare. If you are in or starting work, work-related education, or training we may be able to help with your childcare costs.
