Out-of-school-hours-care (OSHC) is an important part of the framework that supports children and families, but we know that it is not always readily available for primary school aged children, and is even less available for children in preschool.
How we heard from OSHC staff
The Royal Commission heard from OSHC providers, OSHC Directors, school staff and school governing council members about the opportunities and challenges for OSHC in South Australia.
The Royal Commission wanted to understand the perspective of both public and private sector providers of OSHC, and what opportunities and challenges they see in the expansion of OSHC in South Australia.
The Royal Commission asked OSHC staff to share their thoughts on the following:
- What do you believe are the biggest opportunities and challenges to expanding OSHC services?
- What are the issues that are unique to rural, regional and small schools when expanding OSHC services?
- How does the current regulation of OSHC impact the operation and expansion of services?
- What are the opportunities for OSHC for preschool age children?
OSHC staff could have their say by reading our OSHC Issues Paper (PDF, 234.2 KB) and taking our OSHC provider and staff survey on YourSAy.
