Open your childcare centre. We support you through every application.
We support childcare service providers in NSW: provider approval, service approval, childcare needs assessment and opening your centre.
Three connected approvals
Opening a childcare centre usually involves three linked applications. We help you plan them in the right order.
Provider approval
For the person or company that will operate the business. The regulator looks closely at whether you can manage a regulated service.
Service approval
For each individual centre: premises, policies, staffing and readiness to operate.
CCS approval
Child Care Subsidy, administered separately by the federal government, so families can receive fee assistance.
