The ‘Because We Care’ cash grant which is available to each private and public-school student annually, has increased to $50,000 from $40,000.
In addition, the uniform voucher allowance of $5000 will continue to be paid. This means each schoolchild will now get $55,000 each. This year, 205,000 students will benefit.
In Budget 2023, the government increased the ‘Because We Care’ cash grant by $10,000, moving it from $25,000 per child to $35,000.
Over school children, in both public and private schools, are expected to benefit from this additional $2.1 billion that will be placed in the hands of their parents.
