Please read below for further clarification;

• The final eligibility date for CSEF in 2020 has been extended from 14 April until 5           October 2020.
• Families holding a valid means-tested concession card or temporary foster parents are eligible to apply. The normal special consideration arrangements continue in addition.
• Payments will be made at 50 per cent of the standard per student rates for families eligible between 15 April and 5 October 2020.
• Applications must be submitted through the CSEF system by 27 November 2020.

CSEF usage is normally restricted to camps, sports and excursions activities. As there is limited opportunity to undertake these activities this year, it was announced in term 2 that CSEF could be used for technology devices and internet access.

CSEF usage has now been expanded further to include voluntary school charges, books and stationery. It may not be used for school uniforms, before/after school care, music lessons, formals/graduations or compulsory fees.
