Establishing an OOSH Centre

This page is specifically designed for those who are exploring the possibility of establishing a new Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) service in NSW.

There are links to relevant government organisations; current legislation, becoming an approved provider for Child Care Benefit (CCB) purposes, financial assistance for isolated OSHC services and a sample survey to distribute to potential users of the service.

If you have any further questions, please contact the OOSH Development worker at Network after you have read this information and made enquiries to the relevant organisations.

 

Information on Becoming an Approved OSHC Service Provider

If you wish to operate an OSHC service you must become an approved provider through the Federal Government Department of DEEWR.
