What happened
Tamworth Regional Council is reviewing its Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) service operations and collaborating with the NSW Department of Education to appoint a new provider. This review follows the decision by Children First to not renew its license for its OSHC service at South Tamworth Public School, citing challenges including rising operating and staffing costs and decreasing service utilization.
Why it matters
