Camps, Sports Excursion Funds (CSEF)

What is CSEF?

CSEF is provided by the Victorian Government to assist eligible families to cover the costs of school trips, camps and sporting activities.

Who is eligible?

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.

How to apply?

If you applied for CSEF at your child's school last year, you do not need to complete an application form this year 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 this year.
• changed family circumstances; such as a change of custody, change of name, concession card number, or new siblings commencing this year

Please complete the form attached here and return to the school office. Please bring your Health Care Card or other accepted documentation for our office staff to sight and take a copy of.

Forms are also available to collect from the office.
