Financial Assistance for Parents

The 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. The allowance is paid directly to the school to use only towards expenses relating to camps, excursions or sporting activities for the benefit of your child.

The annual CSEF amount per student is:

• $125 for primary school students

You will only need to submit an application form in 2023 if any of the following changes have occurred:

• new student enrolments: your child has started or changed schools or you did not apply at the same school in a previous year
• changed family circumstances: such as a change of custody, change of name, concession card number, or new siblings commencing at the school in 202

The CSEF program for 2023 closes on the 23 June 2023.
