Camps are an amazing opportunity for our students. But they can be stressful for some parents to afford.
If you have a child who may be attending a school camp in 2025. Saver Plus will assist with your saving & budgeting for the upcoming camp.
Saver Plus encourages parents to save $50 a month (for 10 months). Savings are then matched - a free $500 for education costs, making $1,000 potentially available for the school camp.
Families that start saving in August, will have their savings ready to pay their school camp fees in June 2025.
If there are families that don’t have students attending camp they may also still apply for the program and allocate the funds to other education costs.
Saver Plus will chat with families about eligibility:
- Health Care or Pensioner Concession Card
- Payment from Centrelink and
- Earning an income (employment, carer’s payment, or child support).
If families would like to check their eligibility and receive a call back please click on this link - https://www.bsl.org.au/services/saving-and-managing-money/saver-plus/ or call our national number 1300 610 355 and a local coordinator will contact you directly.
Saver plus are also still running regular information sessions for parents/carers every Wednesday that only goes for 15 minutes.
