Address Collection Notice

2019 Student Residential Address and Other Information collection notice

The attached notice (below) is from the Australian Government Department of Education and Training (the department), to advise parents that the department has requested that our school provide a statement of addresses, in accordance with the Australian Education Regulation 2013 (Cth) (Regulation).

This is now a routine task required of all non-government schools.

A statement of addresses contains the following information about each student at the school:

 Student residential address (not student names)

 Student level of education (i.e. whether the student is a primary or secondary student)

 Student boarding school status (i.e. whether the student is boarding or a day student)

 Names and residential addresses of students’ parent(s) and/or guardian(s)

Schools generate a record number for each student for the purposes of this collection, which is also provided to the department.

Purpose of the collection

This collection is routinely used to inform Commonwealth school education policy, and to help ensure that Commonwealth funding arrangements for non-government schools are based on need, and are fair and transparent.

On 20 September 2018 the Government announced that it will implement a new, improved capacity to

contribute methodology used in the calculation of the Commonwealth’s needs-based funding arrangements for non-government schools.

The full details of this collection as well as the contact details should you have any queries or concerns can be found in the letter below.
