It is essential that children are enrolled at Westgarth OSHC to be able to attend the service. We recommend that you enrol your child, in the event that you need last minute care. Our service uses My Family Lounge for enrolments and bookings.
Enrolling your child includes providing your contact details, along with other emergency contacts, providing any medical or dietary concerns and relevant documentation, providing CRN details for Child Care Subsidy (CCS), and other relevant information regarding the care of your child.
We ask you to follow these 3 simple steps.
Step 1Click on the REGISTER button. You will then be taken through a registration process to create your MFL account.
Step 2Log into your MFL account and tell us about you, your child and what bookings you are after so we can help you out.
Step 3If you have requested permanent bookings, we will come back to you within 48 hours and advise if we have a spot available for your child. If we have a spot, we will email you an offer and ask you to accept the offer and complete and submit the Enrolment form in the MFL portal.It’s as easy as 1… 2… 3
