Please read the 2024 Parents Guide to Contributions and Charges for more information
The Department of Education’s Contribution, Charges and Fees Policy clearly states that it is expected that those parents who can afford to make the contribution, pay. Parents/carers who hold a concession card may be eligible for financial subsidy for the contributions, through the Secondary Assistance Scheme.
Secondary Assistance Scheme
The Secondary Assistance Scheme is available to parents/guardians of secondary students, up to and including the year in which they turn 18, and only if the parent/carer is a holder of one of the following prescribed cards (not the student). If a parent does not have a card the application will not be successful.
- Centrelink Family Health Care Card;
- Pensioner Concession Card; or
- Veterans’ Affairs Pensioner Concession Card.
The Secondary Assistance Scheme includes:
- Educational Program Allowance of $235 (paid directly to the school)
- Clothing Allowance of $115 (paid either directly to the school or to your nominated bank account)
- Students in receipt of ABSTUDY are eligible for the ABSTUDY Supplement Allowance.
Application forms for the Secondary Assistance Scheme for 2024 are available to down load HERE. You will be required to lodge these forms in person from Wednesday 31 January 2024, as your valid concession card must be sighted and signature verified. Applications close at the end of Term 1 2024 (Thursday 28 March). No late applications will be accepted by the Department of Education.
