Xplor

Getting Started

• All families must create an Xplor account to manage their OSHC account and bookings (the old system 'MyFamilyLounge' is no longer in use). The only way to set up an account is by way of the email/link sent to you in late August. Be in touch if you need us to resend this email.
• If there are two parents (with emails in our system), both must complete their own account creation to enable them both to use the Xplor App (recommended). Only one parent can be the 'primary' carer and manage the finances of the account. If only one parent received the email, contact the OSHC Support Team to have the other parent added.
• We strongly encourage parents to download the Xplor Home App - this makes managing OSHC simple and convenient. Simply search Xplor Home in your App store. Alternatively, you can use the Xplor platform through a browser home.myxplor.com.
• If other guardians will be dropping off and picking up the children, they must be added as 'Hub Guests' within Xplor. This can be done through the App. Hub Guests can not use the Xplor App, signing children in/out via email and password/pin.

Bookings

• All care types (before/after school and vacation care), including casual or permanent/ongoing requests can be made via the Xplor Home App.
• By default bookings through the Xplor Home App will be assumed to be 'casual' (once off), unless otherwise noted in the comment section of the booking.
• Differing to the old system (MyFamilyLounge):
  • Vacancy for each day is not shown. Unless you see 'No Space' when you select the day to book, there should be a spot.
  • Each booking request is 'approved' by the OSHC Team within 1 business day.
  • Pending the type of care being booked you may be prompted to enter drop off and pick up times. Don't stress, these are only used as a rough guide.

Financials

• OSHC payments are made via direct debit (charged are automatically debited). The direct debit payment source can be changed/updated in the Xplor App.
• Statements can be viewed within the Xplor Home App (they will no longer be emailed).
• More than one guardian (e.g. both parents) can be account holders and use the Xplor App, however only the 'primary carer' can view/manage the account financials.

Setting up your Xplor Account for the first time

If two guardians are listed on the account with email addresses, both will receive the invitation email, and both will need to register accounts in order for both to use the Xplor App.

Didn’t receive a welcome email?

If you have not received your welcome email, please contact the OSHC Support Team by email or call us on 08 8200 2516 and we can resend it to you (don't forget to check your junk email). Only the OSHC Support Team can set up your account on Xplor.

Cancellation Policy

Before/After School Care: Cancellations received up to 48 hours prior to care receive a full refund. Cancellation received with less than 48 hours are charged full fee. The easiest way to provide notice of non-attendance/cancellation is via the My Family Lounge App.

Vacation Care: Cancellation received up to 2 weeks prior to the first day of the school holidays (start of the Vacation Care program) receive a full refund. Cancellations received within 2 weeks of the school holidays (start of the Vacation Care program) are charged full fee.

*No fees will be charged if a medical certificate is provided to oshc@ymcasa.org.au no later than 5 business days from the date of missed service.

Sign your child in/out through the Home App by using the QR code located at the kiosk. This is the easiest and quickest method for those with the Xplor App (Authorised Nominees can not use this method as they do not have access to the Home Xplor App).

Please note: only the primary carer of the child will be able to save payment details.
