WINZ / OSCAR Subsidy
You may qualify for help with holiday programme fees. Eligibility and payments depend on your circumstances, income and the number of children in your care. Check how OSCAR subsidy works and the current subsidy rates.
How to apply
1. Get the OSCAR holiday care application forms from WINZ.
2. Complete the forms and attach all required evidence.
3. Make a Chill Out booking, then give us the OSCAR Subsidy Declaration form to complete. This is the only form we need.
4. Return the full application to WINZ for processing.
5. Check your letter or MyMSD account for the decision and your approved subsidy amount. Supply any extra information WINZ requests promptly.
7) Depending on the amount you receive from winz will depend on if you will need to make top up payments to cover your care.
e.g. you book in for 5 x after school cares a week at $25.30/day. That’s $126.50 / week for care (20 hours $25.30/$6.38).
Winz have accessed that you are entitled to 15 hours of care or $95.70/ week based on your income.
You will need to set up a direct debit into our account for $30.80 / week to cover the difference.
Submit your WINZ forms and any requested information on time. If you miss the deadline, you will need to pay the full cost of care.
Small, regular payments can help spread the cost of holiday care.
Your subsidy may not cover all holiday programme fees, especially when trips and activities cost extra.
To manage costs, you can book fewer days or pay towards future programmes throughout the year. These payments are credited to your Chill Out account.
