How does the calculator work for parents?

They enter their household income, activity level, days of care, and child details. The calculator estimates their CCS percentage, hourly rate cap, and weekly out-of-pocket fees — accounting for Higher CCS, the activity test, and the 3-Day Guarantee.

How quickly can I embed it on my site?

About 30 seconds. Paste a one-line tag into a Custom HTML block on WordPress, Webflow, Squarespace, Wix, or plain HTML. The widget renders inline using your centre's brand colour, logo, and CTA.

What happens to leads parents submit?

Every lead lands in your admin dashboard with full context, is emailed instantly to your enrolments inbox, and CSV-exportable. Your GA4 and Meta Pixel get the events too if you've configured them.

Do the CCS rates stay current when the government changes them?

Yes. The rules engine is centrally versioned — when Services Australia publishes new income brackets, caps, or activity-test rules, every embedded calculator updates automatically. No redeploy on your side.

Can I cancel any time?

Yes. Both Starter and Growth come with a 14-day free trial. Cancel any time from your billing page.

What if I have multiple centres?

Network pricing is available — one account, one bill, per-centre add-on rates. Talk to Martin.

Most parents bounce at “fees” because they have no idea what they'll actually pay.

A daily rate of $145 means nothing without knowing your CCS percentage. So parents leave your fees page and never come back. Generic government calculators don't capture leads, don't know your pricing, and look like they were built in 2008.
