Building better childcare

Driven by community demand for reliable, affordable care, we're exploring the launch of a registered Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) program. Led by Project Lead Emma Meehan, this initiative aims to provide government-subsidised care and expand our offering from 4 weeks to up to 10 weeks per year.
