P–12 Complexity Allowance (Reference 38)

Administration Complexity Allowance supports approved P–12 Colleges (with a full cohort) by recognising the additional complexities in managing a P–12 setting. The allowance is based on the Principal Classification Budget (PCB) and allocates credit funding. The P–12 Complexity Allowance is not included for the purpose of determining the PCB.

Eligibility

Schools with the following school types are eligible for P–12 Complexity Allowance funding at school level:

• Primary/Secondary combined
• Special*.

Schools must contain a full P–12 cohort to be eligible.

Funding is calculated at the Indicative, Confirmed and Revised cycles. Funding is allocated through credit funding.

From 2026, the program will start being phased out and be fully phased out by 2029 and schools will receive 75% of their full funding entitlement in the 2026 SRP.

Rates 2026

Note: PCB ranges for allocating this allowance will be done during the Confirmed and Revised budget cycles. PCB Ranges are outlined at Career Structure — Teaching Service.
