John Purchase Public School
Primary OSHCare

Enrolling with Primary OSHCare is easy, just head to our website primaryoshcare.com.au. Your child’s enrolment must be confirmed before attending their first session with us. John Purchase OSHC charges an annual registration fee of $25.00 for families using Before School Care, After School Care and/or Holiday Program or $20.00 for families that use Holiday Program only. This fee is non-refundable. Where this fee is paid during Term 4, it will be carried over into the following school year.

Permanent Bookings

All permanent bookings must be made with your Service Coordinator. Fees are payable for each session booked, regardless of attendance. This includes absences due to public holidays which fall on week days or changes/ cancellations without 2 weeks’ prior written notice.

To avoid any out of pocket costs, 2 weeks’ advanced notice must be given in writing to the Service Coordinator for any changes or cancellations of permanent bookings. Primary OSHCare may offer different packages for families. Only one discount applies at any one time. For more information please speak to your Service Coordinator.

So we can provide the best and safest care, it is important that you inform the service if your child/ren has an identified health care need, allergy or relevant medical condition diagnosed by a registered medical practitioner.

All medications (including ointments and creams) must be prescribed by a medical practitioner, be in the original container with original pharmacist labels and clear instructions. All labels must be legible and undamaged, and the medication must still be within its expiry date.
