Families can choose how they allocate and spend the School Saving Bonus funds using the online system. The School Saving Bonus can be used towards 2025 school costs, which may include:

  • Camps, trips, excursions and incursions

  • Swimming and sporting programs

  • Outdoor education programs

  • Graduations

  • School uniforms

  • Textbooks

HOW DO YOU USE THE SSB?

Families can choose how they allocate and spend the School Saving Bonus funds using the online system. 

​

One School Saving Bonus email will be sent per child, so parents and carers with multiple children will get an email for each child in their family. The emails may arrive at different times.

​

The email contains a unique code for the $400 bonus and access to the School Saving Bonus online system.
