Is that how it is though? I don't get how you're finding the worse off number. This is what we're currently paying. My understanding is the Feb fee will just be the flat $326. The subsidy will be gone. And the grant will be whatever it is. Plus the provider will be able to add extra expenses. - ThreadSky

So right now your paying $593 out of pocket plus the $266 subsidy. After the change, you’ll pay $326.25 and no subsidy. You’ll be better off by 0.75. That’s because your child is in a day home and not a day care. The grant is currently lower for day homes than day care. That’s actually a good point…

It will bring day care and day home grants to the same level. But it will still have a larger benefit for parents with high income (not eligible for the subsidy) regardless of the child care centre. It will have a negative effect on parents with children at daycares who are eligible for the maximum

subsidy amount. And it will be almost a wash for parents with children at dayhomes who are eligible for the max subsidy.

Of course all of this depends on the starting underlying child care fee ($1010 for you, $1100 for me). I’ll double check in the morning
