The final phase of the Wraparound Childcare (WAC) Scheme is completed and applications can now be made for providing a reimbursement for the costs of before and after school childcare in overseas locations where WAC eligibility criteria cannot be met due to local rules and regulations or because Tax-Free Childcare (TFC) accounts are not available.
The launch of the PSACO Allowance means eligible Service families will have access to before and after school childcare funding in all overseas locations.
PSACO eligibility criteria and guidance can be found on the Discover My Benefits website from January 2026.
