CSEF (Camps, Sports and Excursion Fund)

CSEF is provided by the Victorian Government to assist eligible families to cover the costs of school trips, camps and sporting activities. If you hold a valid Means-tested Concession Card or are a Temporary Foster Parent, you may be eligible for CSEF. A Special Consideration Category also exists for asylum seeker and refugee families. The allowance is paid to the school to use towards expenses relating to camps, excursions or sporting activities for the benefit of your child.

Contact the College Accounts Office to obtain a CSEF Application Form or download from www.education.vic.gov.au/csef

NEW FOR 2018! If you applied for the CSEF at Nazareth College in 2017, you do not need to complete an Application Form in 2018 unless there has been a change in your family circumstances. You only need to complete an Application Form if any of the following changes have occurred:

• new student enrolments; your child has started or changed schools in 2018 or you did not apply in 2017.
• changed family circumstances; such as a change of custody, change of name, concession card number, or new siblings commencing at the school in 2018. Check with the College Accounts Office if you are unsure.
