Cost to families

Where State Schools’ Relief cannot supply uniform items directly, you will receive a voucher that subsidises the cost of the uniform items. The voucher can be redeemed at your child’s school uniform shop, or independent uniform retailer, which will be listed on the voucher. Families/carers receiving vouchers will be required to make a co-contribution payment towards the cost of the uniform items. The amount required to cover the gap will depend on the retail price and the State Schools’ Relief subsidy. The voucher provided by State Schools’ Relief lists each approved item, and the maximum purchase value, that State Schools’ Relief will cover. Check your school’s uniform price list to work out how much extra you may need to contribute towards the uniform item. 

Please note vouchers do have an expiry date and must be redeemed before the expiry date.
