NON-STATE SCHOOLS TRANSPORT ASSISTANCE SCHEME (NSSTAS)
The Non-State Schools Transport Assistance Scheme (NSSTAS) administered by QCEC, provides financial assistance to families transporting children to non-state schools in Queensland.
The Scheme’s Bus Fare Assistance Program (BFAP) provides a rebate above a threshold amount to eligible families whose students attend a non-state school outside the Brisbane City Council boundary. The NSSTAS Reference Committee have now set the Semester 1 2022 weekly family threshold as follows:
- $45 (up from $40 in Semester 2 2021)
- $35 concession* (up from $30 in Semester 2 2021)
*Applications who hold a current Health Care, Pensioner or Veterans’ Affairs card.
Funding for the program is capped for management purposes. Increased demand (due to enrolment growth, additional schools joining and increased bus fares) has resulted in the increased threshold.
Applications can be made online in May (for Semester 1 travel) and October (for Semester 2 travel). To find out more or check your eligibility, see https://www.schooltransport.com.au/.
