Camp, Sports, Excursion Fund (CSEF)

NEW HOLDERS of PENSION OR HEALTH CARE CARDS - Parents now have until 13 August to submit applications 

• If you have received a Health Care Card or Pension Card in the last two months, you can apply for CSEF (Camps, Sports, Excursion Fund) to help pay for school activities. You must be eligible for Centrelink payments on 12 July 2021.
• You do NOT need to apply if you already receive CSEF. 

To support schools through COVID-19 restrictions, the Department has extended the deadline for schools to submit Camps, Sports and Excursion Fund (CSEF) applications to Friday 13 August.

The CSEF helps eligible families to cover the costs of school trips, camps and sporting activities.

Families with a valid means-tested concession card, such as a Veterans Affairs Gold Card, Centrelink Health Care Card or Pensioner Concession Card, as well as temporary foster parents, are eligible to apply. There is also a special consideration category for asylum seeker and refugee families.
