What is the OSCAR Subsidy?
The OSCAR Subsidy is a government contribution that helps eligible families with the cost of approved school holiday programmes.
Note: OSCAR Subsidy is only available for OSCAR accredited providers, which we are.
When should I apply?
We strongly recommend applying for the subsidy well before your child's first day at camp. This helps increase the likelihood that your subsidy payment, if approved, begins prior to the first day of camp.

Receive a qualifying WINZ benefit or meet income thresholds
