Criterion 6 — Applicable to students attending specialist schools for students with disabilities
The Metropolitan Conveyance Allowance does not apply to specialist schools for students with disabilities.
Government specialist schools for students with disabilities
For each government specialist school for students with disabilities, the department has established a Designated Transport Area (DTA). To be eligible for the conveyance allowance, or other type of travel assistance — such as the Students with Disabilities Transport Program (SDTP), a student must reside in the DTA for the school attended.
The type of travel assistance (the conveyance allowance or the SDTP) available depends on the individual circumstances of the student.
Non-government specialist schools for students with disabilities
To be eligible for the conveyance allowance, students must be attending their nearest appropriate non-government specialist school for students with disabilities.
