If families/carers are experiencing any kind of financial or personal difficulties, States Schools Relief is here to support. State School Relief provides support to any Victorian student attending a government school (primary, secondary or specialist), on the advice of the school. Schools are able to submit an application directly, via our online portal, whenever they believe there is a need to support a student whose family/carers are facing difficulty in providing the appropriate uniform, footwear or educational items for attending school. Situations include, but are not limited to:

• Unemployment
• Health issues/illness
• Financial difficulties
• Independent living and/or homelessness
• Natural disasters, house fires
• Bereavement
• Domestic violence

Please see the States Schools Relief website for more information.
