School Savings Bonus (SSB)

  • The School Saving Bonus is a one-off $400 support for government school students from Prep to Year 12 in 2025.
  • Non-government school students who are receiving the Camps, Sports and Excursions Fund (CSEF) in 2024 are also eligible for the School Saving Bonus.
  • The School Saving Bonus is provided to help with the costs of uniforms, textbooks and school activities.

Accessing the School Saving Bonus

Parents and carers of students enrolled at a government school for 2025, by 28 February 2025, will access their School Saving Bonus via an email sent from the Department of Education.

If you enrolled your child after the first day of school for the 2025 year, your School Saving Bonus code will be distributed in mid-March 2025.

The Department of Education and the Victorian Government will never ask you to provide your banking or financial details for the School Saving Bonus.

A School Saving Bonus email will be sent per child, so parents and carers with multiple children will get an email for each child in their family. The emails may arrive at different times.

The email contains a unique code for the $400 bonus and access to the School Saving Bonus online system.
