The School Card scheme provides non-government schools and their parents with an assessment process to determine school fee relief.

Individual non-government schools will determine whether they will use the School Card income eligibility assessment process to determine whether they will provide fee relief.

• eligibility criteria
• application process
• your school’s responsibility in the application process
• how to check the progress of an application
• process for reassessments
• closing date for applications.
