National Outside School Hours Services Alliance
Get PAID to have your say — inform the future funding of the Australian OSHC sector​
Presented by Kylie Brannelly, Chairperson of NOSHSA
20th July 2026
​
Join Kylie Brannelly, Chairperson of the National Outside School Hours Services Alliance (NOSHSA), for an important session on the Service Delivery Prices Project — a once-in-a-generation opportunity to shape how OSHC is funded into the future.
NOSHSA's Advocacy Roadmap prioritises investment in quality care — that means embedded inclusion, lower ratios, quality facilities, and higher wages for our workforce. But real reform starts with real data from real services.
This session is your chance to understand the Service Delivery Prices Project, why it matters, and how your input can directly inform funding reform for the OSHC sector. Whether you're a director, coordinator, or service owner, your voice matters — and it's time to make it count.
Don't sit this one out. Come along, get informed, and get PAID* to have your say.

Payroll check - Are you paying the correct wages? Children’s Services Award - 1 July 2026​
21st July 2026
​
This session is designed for all OSHC employers, service leaders and finance personnel, whether or not your service is participating in the Worker Retention Payment (WRP).
There have been a number of changes to the Children’s Services Award this year.
Are you confident your service is paying the correct wages?
-
If you are paying via the Award, have you applied all three wage increases in March, June & July 2026?
-
If you are getting the WRP, are you paying the correct base rate? The WRP 15% is NOT applied to the current Fair Work pay rates, as this would result in employees receiving the Gender Undervaluation increases twice.
Our session will cover:
-
the correct pay rates for your circumstances
-
allowable fee increases in 2026
-
providers already approved for the WRP
-
providers considering joining the WRP grant program for the first time
-
-
extension of the WRP grant program for already approved providers those wanting to join.

Worker Retention Payment - Annual Declarations and a WRP Update​
27th July 2026
​
This session is designed for providers who are already receiving the Worker Retention Payment (WRP).
The PMC for your service/s may have already received correspondence saying the WRP Annual Declaration is now available in your Smarty Grants Portal. Completing the Annual Declaration is a key requirement for providers participating in the ECEC Worker Retention Payment program. In this session, we'll guide you through what needs to be reported to the Australian Government, explain the reporting requirements, and show you how to accurately calculate and complete the required figures with confidence.
Our session will also briefly cover:
-
unpacking the NOSHSA pay tables to ensure employers are paying the correct rates
-
the Fee Growth Cap – outlining the allowable fee increases in 2026
-
the extension of the WRP grant program
-
a question and answer session regarding any parts of the WRP grant program or wage increases.
