The Victorian Government has announced a one-off $400 ‘School Saving’ bonus, available to families with a child or children in a government school, from late November 2024.
The bonus will be applied to each child (a family with three school children will therefore receive $1,200 in support to spend on school costs).
No application to the fund is necessary: the bonus is free, automatic and universal. A voucher for uniforms and books will be redeemable at a school-approved uniform or textbook supplier, while funds that families allocate to school activities will be managed through the school.
