Fostering a safe, inclusive environment, Your OSHC encourages each child to have fun and grow with their peers through enriching and engaging experiences.

Your OSHC Before and After School Care

Rocketeers Extraordinary Holiday Adventures (Vacation Care)

With over 250 locations around the country, you're sure to find a Rocketeers service near you! Offering extraordinary adventures during the school holidays, you can book your child into any school in any program, meaning your child doesn't need to be attending a particular school to attend our program.Let your child learn something new, make new friends and have fun through hundreds of unique experiences! You'll discover various activities that involve fun team challenges, outdoor excursions, arts & crafts, cooking, coding and many more.

Child Care Subsidy (CCS)

The Australian government provides assistance to eligible families with the cost of approved childcare. The CCS helps to reduce the fees you pay, before you are billed. This means more money in your pocket, whilst your child enjoys the variety of experiences we provide through Your OSHC and Rocketeers. For more information, please visit the CCS page on our website.
