Conveyance Allowance Program

Responsibilities of parents/carers

Parents/carers wanting to apply for a conveyance allowance must:

• request a conveyance allowance application from the school
• estimate travel distances using an online mapping tool. Be aware public domain tools may not provide the shortest practicable route between home and the school/campus attended but give a good indication. A student or their parent/carer may request the school to provide the map as produced by SCAS for the purpose of an application
• validate travel options online at PTV ( www.ptv.vic.gov.au)
• fill in, verify, and lodge the conveyance allowance application form with the school
• notify the school within 7 days if the student’s residential or travel circumstances change during the year
