How to Enrol

To attend Ermington OOSH, either permanently or casually, you must complete an enrolment form for your child through the My Family Lounge website or app.

The enrolment form requires all relevant information, including emergency contacts, medical conditions, immunisation history, media consent, behavioural needs and dietary requirements. Please ensure all sections are completed accurately, as incomplete enrolments may not be considered for a position.

  4. Wait for an offer: We will contact you via your registered email address when a position becomes available.
  5. Accept your offer: You must accept and confirm your offer within seven days, or it will expire.

Important: My Family Lounge may display a message advising that you have not selected a centre or school. Please disregard this message, as it may continue to appear until the service makes you an offer.

Re-Enrolment for Existing Families

Families with permanent bookings will be invited to complete the annual Re-enrolment Survey, usually towards the end of Term 3. This process allows families to request the same days of care for the following year.

Positions are subject to availability and Priority of Access requirements. Completing the survey does not guarantee that your requested days will be offered.

If you miss the re-enrolment process, you will need to apply as a new enrolment through the waitlist in your My Family Lounge account.

Permanent and Casual Bookings

  • Permanent bookings: Your child attends on the same days and at the same times each week for Before School Care (BSC), After School Care (ASC), or both. Permanent positions are subject to availability and confirmation by the service.
  • Casual bookings: Your child attends on an as-needed basis, depending on your family’s requirements and the service’s availability.

Looking for a Casual Day?

Once your child is enrolled at Ermington OOSH, you can request casual bookings for Before School Care, After School Care and Vacation Care through the casual calendar on the My Family Lounge website or app. All casual bookings are subject to availability.

Our Waitlist and Receiving a Position

As places at Ermington OOSH are limited, families who have completed their enrolment but have not received a position will be placed on the waitlist.

Following the annual enrolment process, additional offers may be made throughout the year as vacancies become available.

Unfortunately, we cannot provide an estimated waiting time, as availability depends on changes to enrolments and the number of places available at the service.

Thank you for your interest in Ermington OOSH. We look forward to welcoming your family to our service!
