School Savings Bonus and Support
(school saving system guide attached)
The Victorian Government is delivering the School Saving Bonus (SSB) – a one-off support of $400 for eligible government school students from Prep to Year 12 in 2025.
The SSB helps families cover the cost of uniforms, textbooks, excursions, activities and more.
Most families have now received their SSB code(s). I encourage you to take advantage of this government support.
To learn more about the SSB online system, download the step-by-step System guide for parents and carers (attached below) or watch this School Saving Bonus video School Saving Bonus on Vimeo. System guide translations are also available in 14 languages.
If you would like to use your bonus for school activities, you can allocate some or all of the bonus using the School Saving Bonus online system.
If you have only recently completed your enrolment into the Victorian government school system you can expect to receive your SSB code(s) in the coming weeks.
If you have transferred to our school from another Victorian government school, any remaining funds on your SSB code(s) will soon be available to use at our approved school suppliers. We request your patience as this change is processed.
The Department of Education has established a dedicated contact centre to support the SSB. The contact centre can be reached by: · completing the School Saving Bonus enquiry form calling: 1800 338 663, between 8:30 am and 4:30 pm on weekdays.
