The State Government, through the Department of Education, provides financial support to eligible parents/guardians through the Secondary Assistance Scheme (SAS). The aim of the scheme is to assist low-income families with secondary schooling costs.
Eligible parents/guardians with students enrolled in Years 7 to 12 studying a full-time secondary course at a Western Australian non-government school will be able to apply for the SAS in 2024.
The SAS consists of two allowances:
- $235 Education Program Allowance (payment made to the school); and
- $115 Clothing Allowance (payment made to the parent/guardian).
