About Jabiru
Bringing out their best. That's the Jabiru way.
At Jabiru, children are at the centre of all we do — and we've spent more than 35 years perfecting our approach to bringing out their best. We believe children today need our best support more than ever. That's why we consider each child's entire world so we can understand and support them with the right people, places, resources and guidance.
What sets Jabiru apart from other OHSC providers is our decades-long commitment as a not-for-profit and our unique, personalised approach. We recognise OHSC as a crucial third space in a child's life alongside home and school. We bring the neighbourhood to the children, laying the foundations for a community within the OHSC space.
