CSEF provides financial assistance for eligible families to help their child/children attend activities like school camps, swimming, school-organised sport programs, outdoor education programs, excursions and incursions.
In 2025 eligible families will be entitled to $150 per child (Primary school student rate).
To be eligible for CSEF you must hold one of the following Centrelink cards:
*Centrelink Heath Care Card (HCC)
*Pensioner Concession Card (PCC)
