Travel Passes

The Department of Transport & Planning Travel Pass program provides free 30-day Travel Passes to Victorian students who are experiencing crisis to ensure they can continue to attend school by using public transport.

The program was recently expanded to include caregivers of eligible students, ensuring that they can accompany a student on their journey.

Students’ eligibility is determined on a case-by-case basis by the school and the passes can be used across Victoria’s public transport network.

Travel Passes

Primary, secondary and specialist schools can receive 30-day Travel Passes free of charge to give to students in crisis. 

Travel Passes can be used on: 

• bus, train and tram trips in metropolitan Melbourne (Zone 1 and 2) 
• all regional town buses 
• PTV inter-town buses 
• V/Line coaches 
• V/Line trains.  

How to apply

Students can apply directly to their school.

Government schools can apply on behalf of students via their State Schools’ Relief online portal.
