Mount Compass Area School Oshc Mount Compass

Our Program has been established with the aim of providing quality child care that meets the needs of primary school children, parents, care providers and the community outside of school hours.

The individual needs of each child will be recognized and provided for and we will encourage and nurture the development of each child physically, socially and intellectually by providing a diverse and stimulating program in a warm and caring environment.

Our program will be inclusive to all and will make provision for children and families with special needs.

We believe that communication is of the utmost importance in the provision of a quality service and we will actively encourage the participation of parents and guardians in the ongoing development and management of this program.

The role of the management committee is to give support and advise on policies and issues relating to the children, staff, program and facilities.

Accounts are invoiced weekly and need to be paid within 7 days to keep this service viable, overdue accounts will result in your child/ren having their access to this service restricted until full payment is up to date.

The Department of Human Services (Centrelink) will assess each family's individual situation and then issue a % of CCB that will be paid by the government.

Parents can opt to have their CCB paid to the service on the families behalf or they can pay full fee for care and claim back benefit at the end of the financial year with their income tax.

Child Care Rebate (CCR) is a % of out of pocket expense paid to families, this is in addition to CCB, families can choose to have this paid directly to OSHC, or paid into their bank accounts, or claim at end of financial year with their tax income.
