Support for Families

CSEF – Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund

The Victorian State Government funds a program called the Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund (CSEF). The fund is designed to assist families with costs associated for school events such as camps, sports and excursions. 

Parents/students holding a government approved concession card may be eligible and will need to apply each year by completing the CSEF form supplied by the school.

All forms must be submitted and completed by the last week of Term 2 to receive the fund.

Year 7 CSEF

Every Year 7 Government school student who is a recipient of CSEF automatically qualifies to receive a uniform pack that is provided through State Schools’ Relief. If your child receives CSEF assistance and is in Year 6 transitioning to Year 7, you can ask for a uniform pack to be provided by State Schools’ Relief through the Secondary School your child is enrolled to attend in Year 7.

Applications are made through your child’s school. Please refrain from contacting State Schools’ Relief directly as staff are unable to accept applications from parents/families or carers. Should you have any questions, or wish to apply for assistance, please speak with your child’s school.

  • All items and/or vouchers provided by SSR will be delivered directly to your child’s school. The school will then contact you to arrange handover of these items and/or vouchers.
  • If a uniform item costs more than the maximum subsidised amount, State Schools’ Relief is unable to cover any further cost.
  • If a uniform item costs less than the maximum subsidised amount, the difference cannot be redeemed or transferred to an alternate uniform item.

Please note vouchers are not transferable and cannot be exchanged for cash.

SSR – State School Relief

State Schools’ Relief works closely with government schools across Victoria. Each year, State Schools’ Relief assists families experiencing financial disadvantage with school uniforms, footwear and other essential items. 

Families experiencing financial disadvantage should contact the school for support. The school can apply through SSR for a uniform voucher to the value of $85 to subside the cost of items. If the total exceeds the value of the voucher, parents/caregivers will be required to pay the difference.
