School Card applications are now open

16 January 2023

School Card applications for the 2023 school year are now open.

School Card is available in government schools to:

  • families with children aged 4 years old and over who attend a school full time
  • independent full time students studying year 10, 11 or 12
  • adult re-entry students undertaking subjects to complete their SACE.

To qualify, your family’s gross income in the 2021/22 financial year must be below the threshold, based on the number of dependent children you have in your family.

Information on the eligibility criteria, income limits and the application process can be found at https://sa.gov.au/education/schoolcard.

Financial assistance may be available for students attending a non-government school. Parents should contact their child’s independent or Catholic school directly for more information.
