Please read the program guidelines before submitting an application. 

Applications for the subsidy can only be submitted by Queensland Schools and will not be accepted from individual students, parents, or travel intermediaries.

The subsidy will be paid directly to schools after their planned experience or itinerary has been assessed as meeting the eligibility requirements for funding. No subsidy payment will be made for any travel undertaken prior to approval of a school’s itinerary.

The subsidy is calculated on a per student basis. Accompanying teachers and adults are not included when calculating the subsidy.

A student is only eligible for the subsidy once and the school is responsible for ensuring that each student for whom the funding is claimed has not, to the best of the school’s knowledge, received the subsidy previously.

Fifty per cent of the subsidy will be paid upon approval of the school’s application and the remaining 50 per cent will be paid upon receipt of the completed survey after the excursion.

Application Process

Queensland schools will need to submit their application at least four weeks prior to the departure date of their school excursion.

The Application will be assessed (please allow 10 business days) and you will be advised of the outcome. If you are eligible to receive the subsidy, next steps will be advised.

All applications will be processed in order of receipt and schools are encouraged to submit applications as early as possible.
