Regulated by the VRQA.

The Victorian Registration and Qualifications Authority (VRQA) is the independent regulator responsible for registering and reviewing schools and education providers across Victoria. As a school-council operated service, our OSHC program sits within the school's VRQA registration and is subject to its oversight.

The VRQA sets and monitors minimum standards covering governance, child safety and welfare, supervision, facilities, curriculum and financial management. Through regular review and compliance checks, the VRQA provides families with assurance that our service operates to the standards required of a registered school — and that children's safety and wellbeing are protected by an external authority, not just our own commitment.

My Time, Our Place curriculum.

Our program is planned using My Time, Our Place — the national framework for school age care in Australia. It recognises that children's out-of-school time is valuable for play, leisure and learning, and supports educators to design experiences that nurture the whole child.

Educators draw on the framework's outcomes to plan activities that support children's sense of identity, connection with others, social and emotional wellbeing, confidence as learners, and active contribution to the program. Children's voices and interests directly shape what's on offer — from creative arts, construction and sport to quiet spaces, cooking and collaborative projects — so the program meaningfully supports each child's personal and social development alongside their school day.

Child Care Subsidy

CCS can reduce your out-of-pocket fee.

The Child Care Subsidy (CCS) is a payment from the Australian Government that helps eligible families with the cost of approved child care — including before and after school hours care. The subsidy is paid directly to our service, reducing the gap fee you pay at the time of booking.

Your CCS percentage is based on your family's combined adjusted taxable income, the number of children you have in care, and your activity (work, study, volunteering or job-seeking hours). From 5 January 2026, all CCS-eligible families can access at least 72 hours of subsidised care per fortnight.

CCS income thresholds (2026–27)

The percentage of subsidised care your family receives depends on your combined family income.

Combined family incomeCCS percentage
Up to $88,52090%
$88,521 – $138,52089% – 79%
$138,521 – $203,52078% – 66%
$203,521 – $263,52065% – 54%
$263,521 – $363,52053% – 33%
$363,521 – $533,52032% – 1%
$538,520 or more0%

Between $88,520 and $538,520 the percentage decreases by 1% for every $5,000 of income earned above $88,520. Families with more than one child aged 5 or under may receive a higher rate for second and younger children. Figures sourced from Services Australia and correct for 2026–27.
