Revenue model

1. Before and After School Care Sessions: Families pay for before school (Rise then Shine) and after school (Stay and Play) care sessions. Revenue is generated through session fees with three booking tiers: Early Bird (15+ days advance), Flexible (3+ days advance), and Last Minute (within 48 hours). All sessions are eligible for Child Care Subsidy (CCS) which reduces out-of-pocket costs for eligible families.
2. Holiday Program (Holiday HQ): School holiday care programs with themed activities, excursions, and special events. Sessions are priced higher than term-time care and include experience fees for additional activities. All holiday program bookings are CCS-eligible.
3. Adventure Pack Discounts: Families booking 90 or more sessions in a single term receive up to 20% discount. This volume-based pricing encourages long-term commitment and provides predictable revenue.
4. Additional Fees and Charges: Compliance and administration fee ($2.50 per statement period), late booking fees ($4.36), non-notified absence fees ($21.76), late pick-up fees ($21.76 per 15 minutes), and dishonour fees.

Direct peers

• After the Bell Australia: OSHC provider delivering before and after school care at primary schools in multiple Australian states. Overlapping service model, target customers (working families of primary-aged children), and CCS-dependent revenue structure.
• Big Fat Smile: NSW-focused OSHC and early education provider with before and after school care at primary schools. Comparable CCS-eligible offering and primary-school family target segment, particularly in the same NSW market where OSHClub competes.
• Camp Australia: Australia's largest dedicated OSHC provider, delivering before, after and holiday care at hundreds of primary schools. Directly competes with OSHClub on school partnerships, government-subsidised session fees, and parent-facing booking platforms.
• TheirCare: Australian OSHC provider operating before, after and holiday programs across multiple states. Competes head-to-head with OSHClub on school community partnerships, CCS-eligible sessions, and parent enrolment workflows.

Broad incumbents

• Only About Children: Premium Australian childcare and early learning operator running long day care and select OSHC programs at primary schools. Competes with OSHClub for the same affluent working-family segment where premium positioning overlaps.
• Goodstart Early Learning: Australia's largest not-for-profit early childhood education and care provider, offering long day care plus limited OSHC at some centres. Significant overlap on the regulated childcare market and CCS-funded family segment.
• YMCA Australia: Large diversified not-for-profit operating OSHC alongside fitness, aquatics and youth programs. Overlaps with OSHClub on before/after school care delivery but does not specialise exclusively in OSHC.

Others

• Sherpa Kids: International OSHC franchise referenced as a sub-brand or partner program within the JAG/OSHClub ecosystem. Comparable OSHC operating model and primary-school target customers, with global (NZ, UK, Ireland, Australia) footprint.
• Helping Hands Network: Sister brand under the same Junior Adventures Group parent, also delivering OSHC services across Australia. Not a direct competitor but operates the same business model within the same parent portfolio, offering a useful intra-group comparison point.
• Primary OSHCare: Another JAG sub-brand offering OSHC at Australian primary schools. Shares the parent group's operating infrastructure and Kidsoft platform with OSHClub; included as a portfolio adjacency rather than a direct competitor.
