Conveyance Allowance  

Conveyance Allowance is a form of financial assistance for parents/carers to transport children to and from school in rural and regional Victoria. Allowances are available for public transport, private car and private bus travel.

In some locations, students are unable to access free school buses. In these instances, students may receive a conveyance allowance to assist with travel costs.

To be eligible a student must: 

· Attend their closest government or non-government school/campus, appropriate to their year level, at which admission is permissible, and which is located outside the Melbourne metropolitan conveyance boundary.

· Reside 4.8km or more by the shortest practicable route from that school/campus attended (government and non-government students). 

· Families who wish to apply for this allowance are required to collect a Conveyance Allowance Application form from the Office.  Completed forms need to be returned prior to March 4th.
