This is only if your emergency contact has already an account with us.

Xplor Home Account for both parents:

Just to clarify that both parents, on the same account, can have access to the app, with different emails.

We have noticed that there are few parents who have set up the app, but not their partners.

If your partner hasn’t set up their account, please send an email to Bernadetta with their email address and they will be guided how to set up their app.

Finance Account:

Only parent 1 can have access to the finance account on their app and make payments.

If you struggle to access to finance tab in your app, please contact Bernadetta.

Change in permanent bookings:

If you need to make any changes in your bookings, you will need to contact Bernadetta on oshc.brunswick.nw.ps@education.vic.gov.au with your request, as Xplor will not allow you to make any changes in your bookings.
