Our programs include before and after school care, vacation care, and specialty programs focused on sports, arts, and academic enrichment.

How does Amana OSHC ensure a safe and nurturing environment for children?
Safety and well-being are our top priorities at Amana OSHC. We adhere to strict safety standards and maintain a high staff-to-child ratio to ensure close supervision. Our staff members are highly trained in child care and first aid, and our facilities are equipped with safety features and emergency procedures. We foster a nurturing environment by encouraging positive interactions, respect, and inclusivity among children and staff, making every child feel valued and supported.
Can I apply for the Child Care Subsidy (CCS) for OSHC fees?
Yes, families enrolled at Amana OSHC may be eligible to apply for the Child Care Subsidy (CCS) to help with the cost of our out-of-school hours care services. The CCS is a government initiative designed to assist families in accessing quality child care by reducing the financial burden of childcare fees. Eligibility for the CCS depends on several factors, including your family’s income, the age of your child, and your or your partner’s activity level (such as work, study, or volunteering activities).
To apply for the CCS, you will need to complete an assessment through the Department of Human Services via the myGov website, where you’ll provide details about your family income, activity levels, and other relevant information. Once your eligibility is confirmed, the subsidy will be paid directly to Amana OSHC, reducing the amount you need to pay out-of-pocket for our services.
We recommend starting the application process early to ensure that your subsidy is in place when your child starts attending our programs. If you need assistance or have any questions about applying for the CCS, our friendly staff at Amana OSHC are more than happy to help guide you through the process.
