WINZ Subsidies Available at Mi Casa

At Mi Casa, we believe every child deserves access to high-quality care and education. To help make our services affordable for your family, we are fully registered with Work and Income (WINZ) to offer WINZ Childcare Subsidies.

If you qualify, WINZ can help cover a significant portion of your childcare fees, paid directly to us, easing your financial pressure.

 

Who is Eligible for a WINZ Subsidy?

WINZ childcare assistance is generally available to low-and-middle-income New Zealand families. You may be eligible to receive a subsidy if you meet the following criteria:

Residency: You are a New Zealand citizen or permanent resident.

Caregiver Status: You are the principal caregiver of the child.

The Child: Your child is under the age of 5 (or under 6 if they receive a Child Disability Allowance).

Income Limits: Your total family income (before tax) falls within the WINZ threshold limits, which scale based on the number of children you have.

Activity Requirements

To qualify for up to 9 hours of subsidy per week, you just need to meet the income and residency criteria.

To qualify for up to 50 hours of subsidy per week, you generally need to be juggling other commitments, such as:

Working (full-time, part-time, or shift work)

Studying or participating in an approved training course

Dealing with a serious illness or injury

Caring for a child with a disability

How Much Will You Get?

The exact amount of financial support you receive depends entirely on:

Your total weekly family income.

The number of dependent children in your household.

How many hours your child attends Mi Casa each week.

Tip: You can check what you might be entitled to right now by using the quick Work and Income "Check What You Might Get" tool.

Let Us Help You Apply!

We recommend applying at least 3 to 4 weeks before your child's intended start date, as WINZ typically does not backdate payments.

Our team at Mi Casa is familiar with the paperwork and more than happy to help walk you through the process. Get in touch with us today, secure your child's spot, and let’s get your application sorted together!
