School Saving Bonus
The School Saving Bonus will provide $400 in support for Victorian school-aged students in Term 4, 2024 for use on school costs.
Parents and carers of students enrolled at a government school for 2025 will access their School Saving Bonus via an email sent from the Department of Education in November 2024.
Please check junk or spam folders for this email. If the email is not in your inbox by 29 November 2024, please email school.saving.bonus@education.vic.gov.au
The Department of Education and the Victorian Government will never ask you to provide your banking or financial details for the School Saving Bonus.
A School Saving Bonus email will be sent per child, so parents and carers with multiple children will get an email for each child in their family. The emails may arrive at different times.
The email contains a unique code for the $400 bonus and access to the School Saving Bonus online system.
