Important Info for Parents
CSEF
Camps, Sports & Excursions Fund for Families.
To be eligible for the CSEF: On the first day of term one (29 January 2018) or the first day of term two (18 April 2018), a parent or legal guardian of a student must:
- be an eligible beneficiary of one of these cards:
- Veterans Affairs Gold Card
- Centrelink Health Care Card
- Pensioner Concession Card
- OR they must be a temporary foster parent
- OR the student is 16 years or older and holds a valid concession card (such as a Youth Allowance Health Care Card)
- AND the parent or legal guardian must submit an application by the due date.
Parents who receive a carer allowance on behalf of a child, or any other benefit or allowance not income tested by Centrelink, are not eligible for the CSEF unless they also comply with the above.
Eligibility will be determined when the parent’s concession card successfully validates with Centrelink on either the first day of term one or term two.
The requirement for parents to complete and submit a new application form each year, has been removed from 2018. Parents that received CSEF in 2017 do not need to complete an application form in 2018, providing there has been no change in their family circumstances.
