Primary School Aged Children's Overseas Allowance - Launching January 2026


Primary School Aged Childcare Overseas (PSACO) Allowance to launch in January 2026. PSACO is the final phase of the Wraparound Childcare (WAC) Scheme, 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 will be added to the Discover My Benefits website from January 2026
