Save on Childcare Costs

Apply now

Managing childcare expenses can be challenging, but with Paywise, we can help you use your pre-tax salary to cover childcare fees, helping you save big on tax and reduce your overall costs.

Who Can Salary Package Childcare?

Childcare salary packaging is available to eligible employees working for:

  • Charities and not-for-profit organisations
  • Public and private not-for-profit hospitals

Some corporate or private sector organisations may also provide in-house childcare salary packaging options. Check with your employer to see if this benefit is available to you.

Understanding Childcare Fee Types

There are two types of childcare fees:

  • Non-employer owned: This could be a privately owned childcare facility or one that is managed by your local council.
  • In-house provider: This is a childcare facility that is operated in-house by your employer.

It’s best to check with your employer to understand which type of childcare fees you are eligible to salary package.

How it Works

If you’re eligible, your employer will deduct a portion of the cost of childcare from your pre-tax salary and pay it directly to your approved childcare provider. This means you benefit from reduced taxable income while ensuring seamless payments for your childcare services.

This benefit is generally available to permanent full-time employees of charities, not-for-profit organisations, and hospitals. However, eligibility criteria may vary depending on your employer’s salary packaging policies.
