Kids Biz OSHC

What Kids Biz OSHC does

Kids Biz OSHC (legal name: Kids Biz Holidays & Sports Pty Ltd) is a privately held, family-owned Out of School Hours Care (OSHC) provider operating exclusively in the Australian Capital Territory. Established in 2002 and led by Director Scott Finnigan and General Manager Natasha Finnigan, the company delivers Before School Care, After School Care, and Vacation Care programs at 7 partner school sites across Canberra, including Mother Teresa School (Harrison), Holy Trinity Primary School (Curtin), Holy Family Primary School (Gowrie), St Joseph's Primary School (O'Connor), Melrose High School (Pearce), Gungahlin College, and Alfred Deakin High School (Deakin). It serves families with primary-school-aged children (approximately 5–12 years) and has provided care to thousands of children since inception.

The core offering is a sports-focused OSHC program that bundles three program components — Sports Coaching Sessions (including dance programs), STEM Learning Experiences, and Art'n'Craft activities — into before-school, after-school, and full-day vacation care. All services are delivered on-site at partner schools and operate as a nut-free program. The company has no proprietary technology; operations are supported by the third-party OWNA booking and parent communication platform (available as a mobile app on iOS and Android), and direct debit payment processing is handled by Fat Zebra. Excursions during vacation care are coordinated with transportation provider CDC Canberra.

Kids Biz generates revenue from two streams: childcare fees charged to families for booked sessions (both permanent and casual bookings) and the Australian Government Child Care Subsidy, which eligible families can apply through MyGov with the company's assistance. The business is regulated under the National Quality Framework, the Education & Care Services National Law Act 2010 (Federal), and the Education & Care Services National Law (ACT) Act 2011, and reports an impeccable compliance record. The go-to-market motion is community-led and direct-to-consumer: families enrol through OWNA at partner school sites, with school partnerships generating organic awareness and referrals within the parent community. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; the company applies credit card surcharges, a $30 late payment fee, and a $2.00 per minute late pick-up fee.
