WELCOME TO SCOTCH COLLEGE OSHC
Work commitments and school hours rarely align – that's where OSHC comes in!
YMCA OSHC provides a safe, fun, and stimulating place for children before / after school hours as well as Vacation Care during school holidays.
We're so excited to announce the transition to Xplor childcare software! As the best-in-class software solution, we're confident you'll love the switch, making day-to-day OSHC management and bookings more simple and convenient.
Existing Families - what you need to do
- Set up your account: All existing OSHC families received an email the week of July 19th to set up your new Xplor Parent Home account. The email, which comes direct from Xplor, includes your registered email (login) and a link to create a password. If two guardians with emails are listed on the account, both will receive an email and both need to create an account. If you need us to resend this email please send us an email or call us on 08 8200 2516.
- Download the Xplor Home App: Available for iOS and Andriod, login using the account credentials created in step 1. This App replaces the My Family Lounge App, managing bookings, statement and payment records and much more. The App is also the quickest and easiest way to sign children in and out of care.
- Stop using MyFamilyLounge: bookings via MyFamilyLounge will not be accepted past 06/09/2021.
- Set up Authorised Nominees: You can set up authorised nominees to sign in/out children through the Xplor Home App. Navigate to the Account tab, then Hub Guest and add their name/email. The guest will receive an email (check junk) and follow the prompts to create a password. The Hub Guest can then then sign children in/out by using their login details and password or pin.

Once a child is enrolled, families and carers can contact Family Assistance with the service’s provider number to determine their eligibility for the Child Care Subsidy. This is used to determine a families discounted fee, usually between 50-85%. As a guide 95% of OSHC families receive 50% or more subsidy off the standard rate.
