Your role in OSHC is like no other…
You spend almost as much time with some children as their teachers do. On top of this, you balance a cohort of different ages and developmental stages.
Part of what makes OSHC such a special profession is that it’s a space for people (like you!) with an extraordinary passion for guiding and enriching future generations of children outside of a classroom setting.
It’s a totally unique role in the education space that requires unique knowledge and skills and comes with unique challenges…
You know it. We know it... and that’s why – as the peak body for OSHC – we’ve been running The OSHC Conference for more than twenty years!
Last year, 97% of attendees told us that their conference experience would help them in the workplace.
Despite this overwhelmingly positive feedback, we still wanted to ensure that the 2024 conference ticked the right boxes. We put it to you to tell us what you wanted, and you told us the things that matter to you are: staffing, wellbeing, challenging behaviours, inclusion practices, nature-based pedagogy, First Nations perspectives, hearing from other OSHC services… and of course, A&R!
You’ll hear from:
- AFL legend and children’s author Eddie Betts
- Globally acclaimed author and alternative school principal John Marsden
- ACECQA National Education Leader, Rhonda Livingstone
- OSHC icons Dr Bruce Hurst and Jennifer Cartmell
- Child psychologist and trauma specialist Trent Savill
- DeadlyScience founder, Corey Tutt
- NOSHSA Chairperson, Kylie-Anne Brannelly
… And more!
There will be more breakout sessions than ever before AND we’ve planned two complimentary in-person events: A tour of John Marsden’s ground-breaking Candlebark Primary School AND a Twilight networking in-person event at North Melbourne Primary School with CCC team members and special guests…

- Discover how to retain and attract staff in challenging times
