Applications for travel in 2021 are now open

Applications to Travel 

Renew Application – If a traveler is currently approved to travel on a school bus and their circumstances have not changed (e.g. home address and school), select ‘Renew Application’.  Selecting this option will renew the travelers existing travel conditions.

New Application – A ‘New Application’ must be created for travelers that have never travelled on a school bus, or have changed school or home address.  Selecting this option will create a new travel application.

When will I receive my travel offer? 

Current Term - Applications for current term travel are processed by the School Bus Management System on a daily basis.  

Next Term - Applications for next term travel are processed prior to the end of the current school term.

Next Year - Applications for next year travel may be submitted at the start of Term 4 and will be processed by December. 

What happens when I receive my travel offer - Once you have submitted your application, a travel offer will be sent to you via email or post.  Once you receive your travel offer notification, please log back in to the School Bus Management System to manage your offer.

When can my child travel on the bus - Once you have accepted your travel offer and paid the fare (where required), this completes the application process and ensures your child is approved to travel.

Bus Passes

Bus passes are sent out to travelers via Australia Post.  Whilst waiting for your bus pass to arrive, families may login to the School Bus Management System and print a Temporary Bus Pass to access their school bus service.  

Bus passes must be presented to the bus driver when boarding the vehicle.
