Commitment to Child Safety
At Gowrie NSW, safety has always been front and centre. It’s something we’ve been deeply focused on for a long time - not just in words, but in action. As a child safe organisation, we hold a zero-tolerance approach to harm and place children’s rights and wellbeing at the core of everything we do. Our policies, training and everyday practices are designed to create environments where children feel secure, respected and empowered.
Families can trust that their children are safe, supported and free to learn and grow.
Keeping you connected
We use Storypark to share updates in real time about what your child is doing and learning throughout the day. We want you to be as much a part of the experience as your child, we also don’t want you to miss a second of the memories they’re creating with us at Gowrie NSW.

Childcare Subsidy and Support

What Our Families Say...

What I love most about Orange East OSHC is the community feel. The educators create an environment where every child belongs, whether they’re playing sport, doing craft, or just having quiet time. It’s such a supportive space.
SamParent -
Our daughter loves being at OSHC every day. The team is incredibly caring and always attentive. They turn ordinary afternoons into something fun and meaningful. It's a relief knowing she's in such a supportive environment.
JessParent -
I truly appreciate how welcoming and flexible Bathurst West OSHC is. The educators listen and adapt to what my kids enjoy...so I know they’re happy after school. It gives me peace of mind."
AishaParent -
Gowrie OSHC Erskineville is an awesome before and after‑school centre. The staff is super friendly and supportive. They have created a great educational and entertaining program, developing a new schedule every week with several activities to choose from daily (for example art, cooking, games, sport). Our child is so excited to go to Gowrie OSHC Erskineville every day!
AlexParent -
My youngest sometimes finds after school a bit overwhelming, and the educators at Kelso OSHC provide a quiet, calm space where he can relax before joining the group again. That thoughtfulness makes such a difference to his day.
KerrieParent -
Both my children have a fantastic time at Orange East. They love having their breakfast there, and having fun before school. They have a real connection to the community here at Orange East, and work hard to develop strong relationships with all the families. Highly recommend Gowrie OSHC!
