  • reduce of OSHC fees by up to $225 per child per year;
  • provide a rental subsidy of up to $15,000 per year per OSHC service provider;

During July-December 2019, the NSW Coalition Government is asking parents to share their needs on before-and-after-school-care (OSHC) to help them better plan, deliver and manage services across NSW.
