About the School Saving Bonus

The Victorian Government is making life that little bit easier for families by providing a one-off $400 School Saving Bonus. This support will help cover the cost of school uniforms and school activities like camps, excursions and sports.

The School Saving Bonus is in addition to existing and continuing means-tested supports for Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund (CSEF).

Who receives the School Saving Bonus

The School Saving Bonus is available for parents and carers of all Victorian government school students from Prep to Year 12 in 2025.

Accessing the $400 School Saving Bonus

You do not need to apply for the School Saving Bonus.

The Department of Education sent emails in November 2024 with your $400 School Saving Bonus information. You will be able to access it via an online system.
