Changes to Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund (CSEF)

Changes to Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund

New changes to the Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund (CSEF) will apply for the rest of 2020 to provide more support to families in need.

As many families are now facing financial difficulty and camps are being delayed, CSEF can now be used for voluntary school charges, books and stationery costs in 2020. 

Exclusions will still apply for school uniforms, outside hours school care, music lessons, or formals/graduations and compulsory school fees.

CSEF eligibility date extended

In addition, CSEF eligibility for Term 2 (up to Tuesday 14 April 2020) has been extended so that and families holding a valid means-tested concession card or temporary foster parents are eligible for CSEF up to 5 October 2020.

Payments for students eligible between Wednesday 15 April and Monday 5 October 2020 will be made at 50 per cent of the standard primary and secondary per student rates.

The CSEF system will open again for new applications from Monday 5 October, with the submission date extended to Friday 27 November.

If you have any questions regarding the changes, or you have completed a new application, or if you would like to let us know how to allocate your CSEF,  please contact Marnie via email at Marnie.Wadsworth@education.vic.gov.au

Any unused CSEF money that is unallocated will be carried over to 2021.
