1. The P&C should meet to confirm that they are interested in taking on the OOSH, and will take investigatory steps to bring a recommendation back to the P&C. If you’ve already decided as a P&C Executive to do this research without spending any money on the process (for example, a due diligence report), you don’t need a vote of members to begin investigation. In either case, the P&C must vote at a general meeting when it is time to formally decide whether or not the P&C will come under P&C management and control.
2. The P&C should contact the Principal via email and if possible, your department Contract Manager, and tell them the OOSH and P&C are navigating the transition process and require an extension of the OOSH licence. CC in the OOSH for their records.
3. Register with us and download the info pack for next steps.

If an eligible OOSH and P&C Association can demonstrate that they are taking steps to transition, they will be afforded time to complete that transition. We encourage you to speak to your Contract Manager from the NSW Department of Education (Shared Use of Schools licencing team) to confirm that you need more time in your licence period to transition the P&C operation.

You may believe your OOSH is parent managed and therefore eligible to be protected from tender while you transition to the P&C, but not be identified as eligible by the Department.
The P&C Federation has, through manual evaluation, identified the following services as parent-managed. If you feel you are eligible but are not on this list, please contact us on mail@pandc.org.au or 1300 885 982.
