3 Day Guarantee at Tree of Life

3 Day Guarantee at Tree of Life

More Belonging, Connection, Time to Grow - Guaranteed.

From January 2026, the Australian Government’s new 3 Day Guarantee ensures eligible families can access a minimum of three days (72 hours) of subsidised early learning per fortnight.

At Tree of Life, this means more time for children to feel settled, supported and deeply connected to their learning environment.

What is the 3 Day Guarantee?

The 3 Day Guarantee is a government initiative designed to make early learning more accessible for families across Australia.
If your family is eligible for the Child Care Subsidy (CCS), you are entitled to at least 72 hours of subsidised care every fortnight, regardless of your work or study hours.

In simple terms:
  • Your child can attend up to three days per fortnight with CCS support.
  • You don’t need to meet higher activity test requirements.
  • Families have more flexibility to choose what works best.

This change gives children more time to learn and grow, while helping families better balance work, life and care.

Why More Days Make a Difference

Children thrive on rhythm, relationships and familiarity. Attending early learning more consistently helps children feel safe, confident and at ease.
At Tree of Life, an extra day isn’t just another booking — it’s another opportunity for children to explore nature, build friendships and grow at their own pace.

Key Benefits
