NSW Government to roll out 44 new OSHC hubs over 12 months to meet demand

The NSW Government will open 44 new outside school hours care (OSHC) hubs across the state over the next 12 months to provide better access to before and after school care in schools.

Known as ‘hubs’, the purpose-built sites are part of the Government’s $40 million commitment to create more OSHC places, Minister for Education and Early Learning Sarah Mitchell explained. The state already has 47 hubs in use, with the new additions to tip the total over 90, catering for nearly 5,000 students. “We’ve delivered 47 hubs already and will roll out more than 90 in total around the state, providing facilities for up to 4,800 students,” Ms Mitchell said. “Every hub includes a play space, offices, toilets and kitchens, allowing students to enjoy a safe and fun environment, whilst providing parents with the flexibility they need.”

Ten of the latest hubs have been temporarily redistributed to the North Coast to assist with flood recovery and provide accommodation for dislocated OSHC and preschool services.

The hubs are part of a broader $8.6 billion investment in school infrastructure over the next four years by the NSW Government, continuing its program to deliver 160 new and upgraded schools to support communities across NSW.

This builds on the more than $9.1 billion invested in projects delivered since 2017, a program of $17.7 billion in public education infrastructure. Schools with completed OSHC Hubs are as follows:
