Managing Your Enrolment in 2025

We are transitioning to a new enrolment and booking platform, Kangarootime (KT Connect), to provide families with a more user-friendly and flexible experience. Depending on your service location, you will continue using My Family Lounge (MFL) or begin using Kangarootime while we transition.

Which Platform Should You Use?

Please refer to the rollout schedule below to see which platform applies to your service:

Services using Kangarootime:

  • From 12 May 2025: Torrens, Hughes, Griffith, and Wanniassa OSHC
  • All other services will continue using QikKids until further notice.

If your service is listed above, you will receive an email with instructions on how to set up your Kangarootime account before the go-live date.

All enrolments, bookings, and direct debit information must be managed in Kangarootime for Torrens, Hughes, Griffith, and Wanniassa OSHC.

Once your invitation arrives, you can download the Kangarootime KT Connect app from the App Store or Google Play Store. Search KangarooTime, and a series of apps will appear. The app you’ll want to download is called KT Connect, it looks like this with a purple kangaroo:
