Can one service offer before and after school care?

Yes. ACECQA nature-of-care flags can include multiple OSHC types on the same approved service. Filters match any selected nature that is marked true.

Do you show OSHC session fees?

No. Session fees are not in the national registers, so they appear as Not available. Ask the service for a written schedule and CCS estimate.
