Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund

The Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund provides payments for eligible students to attend school camps, excursions, and sports and outdoor education programs.

Those that are eligible to apply for the CSEF are:

• families holding a valid means-tested concession card

A special consideration category also exists for refugee and asylum seeker families and students placed in temporary care.

Eligible means-tested cards

Means-tested concession cards must now be valid on either:

• the first day of Term 1 – 28 January
• the first day of Term 2 – 22 April

The full list of eligible concession and health care cards is available on the Services Australia website.

For Veterans' Affairs, gold cards are the only means tested cards for this type. This card must be sighted, and a photocopy taken by the school to confirm the expiry date and eligibility.

Cards that are not financially means tested are not accepted.
