About ParentPal

Making school holidays actually fun for parents.

ParentPal is the easiest way to plan your kids' school holidays. We bring together the long-standing local providers your neighbours already book with — camps, workshops, sports clinics, surf, STEM, dance — and put them in one app you can sort through in 30 seconds.

Why we built this

Holidays shouldn't mean 11 open tabs.

Every term, parents end up doing the same scramble — hunting through Facebook groups, half-broken booking forms, school-gate recommendations, and provider websites that haven't been updated since 2019. By the time you find the right thing, half of it's “fully booked.”

We started ParentPal to put all that scattered local knowledge in one place. Curated by parents in your suburb, run by providers who've been doing this for years, with real availability and prices you can actually compare.

What you'll find

Every kind of school-holiday day.

Six broad categories, all filtered by suburb, age and date so you only see what fits.

Why parents stay

Built for the parent doing the planning.

The boring stuff (payments, refunds, reminders) baked in. Not buried in T&Cs.

Easy booking
Browse, book, and pay in one place. Card payment, instant confirmation, night-before reminders.
Trusted providers
We launch in each suburb with the operators families have been booking with for years. Real businesses, real Working with Children Check obligations.
Secure payments
Card details never touch the provider. Stripe holds payment until the activity is on, then settles. Refunds and credits handled in-app.
Filters that fit your life
Filter by suburb, dates, age, price and vibe. We only show real availability — never the "fully booked but still listed" trap.
