At Oz Education, we understand that nothing matters more than the safety and wellbeing of your child. As a family-owned childcare provider with children ourselves, we know the trust you place in us is sacred — and we take that responsibility seriously. That’s why for over 40 years, we have gone beyond minimum standards to ensure every child in our care is safe, seen, and supported every day.
As part of the Oz Education family, you can feel confident knowing:
- We go beyond meeting regulatory safety standards — we embed child safety into everything we do.
- Our educators are extensively trained in child protection, risk management, emergency response, and fostering respectful relationships.
- We have strong systems in place to ensure active supervision, clear reporting pathways, and timely responses to any concerns.
- Most importantly, we nurture a culture of openness and respect where every child feels safe, valued, and heard.
Safeguarding Every Child
Secure Entry
Our centres are purpose-built with child-safe design, including secure entry systems with drop-off/pick-up protocols, ensuring only authorised individuals can enter or collect children.
Security Features
Our centres have clearly marked emergency exits, gated areas, fenced outdoor areas, and CCTV surveillance in key locations to protect every child throughout the day.
Strict Supervision
Educators provide continuous supervision at all times from arrival to departure, indoors, outdoors, during transitions, and rest time.
Carefully Managed Ratios
We maintain strict educator-to-child ratios — not just to meet regulatory requirements, but to ensure active, attentive care and attention. No child is ever left unsupervised.
Daily Health & Safety Inspections
Every room and outdoor space is inspected daily for trip hazards, loose equipment, proper furniture placement, cleanliness, and compliance. Our educators are trained to identify risks and take immediate action.
Trusted Educators You Can Count On
Qualified, Vetted & Trained Staff
All educators at Oz Education hold relevant early childhood qualifications, first-aid training (including anaphylaxis and asthma), and undergo rigorous background checks before joining our team.
Risk Awareness
While our educators engage children in meaningful, play-based learning ensuring safety, they are also trained to spot risks, respond swiftly, and create calm, controlled environments.
Experienced, Long-serving Staff
We’re proud of our stable and long-serving teams. Children thrive on consistency, so we invest in our people to ensure your child builds strong, ongoing relationships with their educators.
Ongoing Professional Development
We continuously train our staff in Work Health & Safety (WHS), child protection, emergency procedures and safety protocols to ensure best practice every step of the way.

Open Communication
You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and incident reports through our secure parent app. We believe in complete transparency, so you’re always in the loop.
Supportive Transitions
From orientation to daily drop-offs, we support you and your child with empathy, structure, and communication — so that trust grows naturally from day one.
Parent Partnerships
We invite parents to share concerns, ask questions, and give feedback. You’re never just a visitor — you’re part of our community.
