Secondary Assistance Scheme
The Secondary Assistance Scheme is available to parents/guardians with children enrolled in secondary schooling who hold an eligible concession card valid during Term 1. The card must be valid for 4 weeks during this time.
ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA
Parent or Guardian must hold one of the following cards:
- Centrelink Health Care Card
- Centrelink Pensioner Concession Card
- Veterans’ Affairs Pensioner Concession Card
Please Note: The only Veterans’ Affairs Card that meets the criteria is a blue card that is issued annually and expires in December each year. This card is income means tested.
The parent/guardian must be the holder of a card that is valid sometime during first term. Students must be listed on claimant’s card (except for some year 11 and 12 students, or in cases of disability/health reasons). In this instance, the school must sight both concession cards. The only exception to this is when a student holds their own health care card and has been declared independent by Centrelink (e.g. Living Away from Home) in which case, a letter of confirmation from Centrelink must accompany the application. The concession card must not be expired when applying for SAS.
The allowance is paid up to and including the year the student turns 18 years of age i.e. students born in 2006 or before are ineligible in 2025.
Fill in the form and either email to warnbro.chs@education.wa.edu.au including a scanned copy, screenshot or photo of both sides of your concession card or hand your form to accounts in our main administration with your concession card.
NOTE: We will not be able to process forms without sighting your concession card.
Card accepted are Pension Concession Card, Health Care Card and Veterans’ Affairs.
