Conveyance Allowance 

Conveyance Allowance is a form of financial assistance for parents/carers to transport children to and from school in rural and regional Victoria. Allowances are available for public transport, private car and private bus travel.

In some locations, students are unable to access free school buses. In these instances, students may receive a conveyance allowance to assist with travel costs.

To be eligible a student must: 

· Attend their closest government or non-government school/campus, appropriate to their year level, at which admission is permissible, and which is located outside the Melbourne metropolitan conveyance boundary.

· Reside 4.8km or more by the shortest practicable route from that school/campus attended (government and non-government students). 

· Families who wish to apply for this allowance are required to collect a Conveyance Allowance Application form from the Office.  Completed forms need to be returned prior to March 4th.

Do you have a Healthcare Card?

If yes, you are may be eligible for Camps, Sports, Excursions Fund (CSEF), please see attached notice in the newsletter for further details or contact Nicole in the office.

 If you are eligible to receive a Health Care Card, hold a DVA Gold Card or an ImmiCard you can apply for concessional school fees at St Anne’s. 

All applications must be made on a St Anne’s approved form and this will be dealt with in the strictest confidence in accordance with our School Privacy Policy. All applications need to be approved by Ms Hussey and if accepted, an automated payment plan must be established. This will be via direct debit to the school. In the circumstances that a family applies and does not meet the threshold for the school fee reduction, I will work with you to discuss an appropriate payment plan for you.)
