Ditch the Calculator!

As parents ourselves, we know the pain of trying to calculate what out of pocket expenses look like with children in Childcare.

Whilst there are many government. childcare provider and childcare comparison websites who offer subsidy calculators, its often a complex process taking many steps and you have to do it for each service your considering.

Sometimes these calculators are only available for either their brand of childcare centres, or use an average daily fee figure that does not relate to what you'll actually be paying for childcare services in your area.

Frustrated with having to calculate the estimated subsidy for every service, re-entering details over and over and then having to wait for an email with lacklustre information, we came up with a solution.

KindiCare has just introduced a Search with Subsidy Feature on the new version of the KindiCare App. It’s as simple as entering your household taxable income and your activity hours against your profile. Once you've done this, it's like applying a discount or promo code to services, and lets you search with your estimated childcare subsidy applied! You can even filter on your estimated gap payment so you can easily find services in your area that fit your budget! 

Every childcare centre (with their prices listed), has both their fee per session for each service as well the estimated out of pocket fee after the estimated childcare subsidy is applied based on your own unique circumstances! It’s that easy!

The KindiCare App is all about transparency and simplicity. This is just one more way we're making the childcare journey simpler for families looking for early childhood education and care services.
