“It’s all about helping the kids develop skills for the future and to encourage them not to give up on their goals.”

“OSHC is such a growing industry, it’s exciting to think we’re a part of that.”

“It’s so wonderful to see the kids learning things, and teaching each other.”

“Most of the activities are things the kids think of because it’s their time, it’s about what they need.”

“There’s the morning and afternoon shifts, but you get your weekends free which a lot of university students don’t get.”

“You get the opportunity to learn from people who’ve had a lot of experience working with children that you wouldn’t necessarily pick up from classroom-based learning.”

“We get the kids involved with broader Camp Australia activities to get them thinking about the world around them and supporting children less fortunate than themselves.”
“Often the reality of the work is quite different from what you learn in text books – this way you see the dynamics of the environment first hand and can test your knowledge.”

“I was a parent at one of the local schools and we were looking for an Out of School Hours Care provider. I decided I liked what I saw at Camp Australia and applied for a job there.”

“Seeing a child with additional needs being accepted and welcomed into the play environment is so rewarding.”

Camp Australia is already a working model of the direction childcare services are heading in.

Just do it! If your love is for children, you’ll get lots of support from the company.

If you’re looking for a career in the childcare area, there are just so many opportunities.
