Camp, Sports & Excursion Fund
Below are the criteria used to determine a student’s eligibility for the Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund (CSEF).
Criterion 1 – General eligibility
The applicant must be one of the following:
- a parent or carer who is the beneficiary of a financially means-tested card.
Applications must be submitted to the school by the end of Term 2.
Where the parent or carer is seeking eligibility based on an eligible financially means-tested card, eligibility will be determined when the relevant concession card successfully validates with Centrelink on either the first day of Term 1 or Term 2.
Criterion 2 – Be of school age and attend a Victorian school
For the purposes of CSEF, students may be eligible for assistance if they attend a registered Victorian school.
A special consideration eligibility category also exists and should be made through the application form. For more information, see: Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund (CSEF): Eligibility | education.vic.gov.au
