$400 School Saving Bonus
The new one-off School Saving Bonus gives families of school kids one less thing to worry about and makes life that little bit easier.
The Bonus will be provided during Term 4 of this year, making sure families have time to plan and budget for the 2025 school year ahead.
Families will receive a credit on their school family account to help meet the cost of activities and uniforms.
The School Saving Bonus is available to parents and carers of every child enrolled in a government school in 2025.
For non-government schools, families eligible for the means-tested Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund, including healthcare and concession card holders, will also be eligible for the additional $400 support.
