Did you know you could be eligible for FREE travel to and from school?
In Queensland it is compulsory for children to attend school at certain
stages of their life. The Queensland Government provides educational
facilities throughout the state. In areas where it is not feasible for
the government to provide these facilities, assistance with school
transport costs is provided under the School Transport Assistance Scheme - STAS
The Queensland Government understands that education is essential for
Queensland's development. Due to this, education facilities are
provided throughout the state.
It is the responsibility of parents to make suitable travel
arrangements for their children to attend school. For many years the
state government has provided assistance with school transport costs for
eligible students in certain circumstances. This assistance is provided
under the School Transport Assistance Scheme (STAS), which recognises
the needs of students in areas with limited student populations where
facilities cannot be justified. It is in these areas that school
transport assistance is provided to enable students to attend education
facilities.
