School Saving Bonus Update

Updated information regarding changes to the School Saving Bonus

The School Saving Bonus (SSB) can continue to be used for uniforms and textbooks until Monday 30th June 2025.

Any funds remaining from 1st July 2025 (including online voucher amounts that have not been redeemed) will become a credit for you to use on school activities. However, a lag with Department of Education processes will mean that this credit will not be available on your family account until the beginning of August.

To use any remaining SSB funds to cover the cost of school activities that occur in July, please refer to the SSB online system and allocate the funds to school activities before 30th June 2025.

To learn more about the SSB online system, download the step-by-step System guide for parents and carers (DOCX, 945KB) or watch this School Saving Bonus video. System guide translations are also available in 14 languages.

The Department of Education’s SSB contact centre will remain available until 30th June 2025. The contact centre can be reached by:

• completing the School Saving Bonus enquiry form 
• calling 1800 338 663, between 8:30 am and 4:30 pm on weekdays.
