The Australian federal government has announced it will provide a further $6 million (US$4.3 million) to support Victoria’s Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) services that have been impacted by the CCP virus lockdown.

Eligible OSHC services in locked-down Greater Melbourne and Mitchell Shire will have 15 percent of their revenue, backdated to July 20, paid for by the federal government.
