School Savings Bonus
As part of the Victorian Budget for 2024/25, the Victorian Government is providing families with one-off support, including $400 for each eligible student to help families cover school uniforms and activities costs in 2025.
This will be available to parents and carers of every child enrolled in a Victorian government school in 2025.
Families will receive the bonus as credits on their school accounts that will help meet the costs of activities and uniforms.
The Schools Saving Bonus support will be in addition to existing and continuing means-tested supports for camps, sports, excursions and uniforms. The application-based Affordable School Uniform program through State Schools’ Relief, will continue to be available to families experiencing financial hardship or applications for support on parents’ behalf throughout the year if needed.
There will be more information and guidance about the School Saving Bonus in term 3, 2024, ahead of its implementation in 2025.
