Parent Contributions

Victorian government schools provide free instruction. This means all students have free access to all items, activities and services that schools use to deliver the curriculum, including reasonable adjustments to support students with disability.

The Parent Payment policy outlines the ways in which schools can request financial contributions from parents and ensures that the parent payment practices in Victorian government schools are consistent, transparent and that all students have access to the Curriculum.
