## What is Outside School Hours Care?

Outside school hours care offers care for school-aged children before school, after school, during school holidays and on pupil-free days. OSHC Programs follow the nationally approved [My Time, Our Place Framework](https://www.acecqa.gov.au/sites/default/files/2018-05/my_time_our_place_framework_for_school_age_care_in_australia_0.pdf) for School Age Care, which aims to extend children’s learning and enrich their wellbeing in a positive social environment. Outside school hours care may use stand-alone facilities, share school buildings and grounds and/or share facilities such as community halls.
