OSHC bookkeeping
Before-school care, after-school care and vacation care have different activity patterns through the year. We help outside school hours care (OSHC) providers keep payroll, parent accounts and bookkeeping organised around the way their service runs.

Payroll that follows your service’s activity
Your team supplies approved hours and staff changes. We help work out the classifications and pay rates under the applicable Award or enterprise agreement, calculate pay and allowances, maintain leave records and process super contributions. Weekly or fortnightly payroll and any retention-payment work are agreed in your quote.
Attendances, parent accounts and payments
If you need help with your childcare management system (CCMS), we can submit attendances from your records, process parent payments and prepare statements. We check enrolment information and compare Child Care Subsidy (CCS) receipts with the account records to investigate differences.
- Attendance submissions and enrolment record checks
- Parent direct debits, statements and account queries
- CCS receipts checked against account records
Bookkeeping through school terms and holidays
We record supplier bills, match bank transactions and prepare approved supplier payments. For budgeting and forecasts, we use your planned sessions, enrolments, staffing costs and holiday activities rather than assuming every month will look the same.
Support for private and community-managed services
Your ownership and reporting arrangements shape the work. A committee-managed service may need monthly reports, grant records and annual audit preparation. A private provider may need figures for each service or location. Tell us how you operate so the quote covers the reports you actually use.
BAS and a practical handover
We can handle BAS lodgements and related ATO communications as part of the agreed work. During setup we confirm software access, payroll timing and any records needed before the first pay run or attendance submission.
Common questions
Can the quote cover vacation care as well?
Yes. Tell us whether you provide before-school, after-school and vacation care, and whether they share the same software and accounts.
Can you report across several OSHC services?
We can discuss reports for individual services and the provider as a whole. The number of services, software and reporting needs shape your detailed quote.
Does your team manage the staff roster?
No. Your service manages staffing and approves hours. We use those records to calculate payroll and can help with budgets for expected wage costs.
