CSEF – Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund
General eligibility
The applicant must be one of the following on the first student day of Term 1 (28 January 2026) or Term 2 (20 April 2026):
- A parent or carer who is the beneficiary of a financially means-tested card
- A student over 16 years who is considered a mature minor and holds a valid means-tested concession card (such as a Youth Allowance Health Care Card). For guidance on assessing whether a student is a mature minor, refer to the department’s Mature Minors and Decision Making policy
- A parent or carer whose child is 16 or over and the beneficiary of a financially means-tested card but are not considered a mature minor.
Where the parent or carer is seeking eligibility based on an eligible financially means-tested card, eligibility will be determined when the relevant concession card successfully validates with Centrelink on either the first student day of Term 1 or Term 2.
For students over 16 years of age and where the eligible card is in the name of the student, the fund is only granted to that student, not their siblings.
