Eligibility criteria
Students must meet certain criteria depending on the type of school they attend.
Students must meet criteria 1, 2 and 3 in all cases. Additional criteria (criteria 4 to 7) apply depending on the type of school or setting attended.
For the purposes of assessing eligibility for a conveyance allowance, each school or campus is considered a separate entity. Students attending a multi-campus school have their eligibility assessed based on the campus they are attending.
Schools must submit applications for the conveyance allowance through the Student Conveyance Allowance System (SCAS).
Prior to submitting the applications, schools must check all information in the application is accurate. SCAS will then assess, based on the information in the application, whether the student satisfies the eligibility criteria established by the Minister for Education and Training.
