Back-to-School payment scheme

A $200 annual entitlement for eligible preschool to Year 12 students, used through their school for approved educational goods and services.

Check whether this applies to you

Use the entitlement by the end of Term 3 at the first school attended that year. It is not a general cash deposit. The 2026 deadline has passed for most government schools.

What to prepare

  • School students do not need separate documents or a voucher; the school checks eligibility
  • Home-education or interstate-boarding reimbursement requires eligible purchase receipts and relevant approval
