As of January 2025, every Australian school is now entitled to receive annual Schooling Resource Standard (SRS) funding. The use of this funding is not solely for core academic delivery, but explicitly includes provision for the wellbeing and engagement of students and the professional development of staff.
Importantly, this funding is automatically allocated to all schools - there is no application process required.
In 2025, the base SRS funding for primary schools is $13,977 per student, with further loadings based on student needs, location and disadvantage.
This funding is available to all government, catholic, and independent schools across all Australian states and territories.
Under the Better and Fairer Schools Agreement 2025–2034 (replacing the National School Reform Agreement), which came into effect January 2025, Clause 62 defines three national funding priorities:
(a) High-quality and diverse curriculum delivery
(b) Structured student wellbeing for learning and engagement
(c) Sustainable, skilled workforce development
The full agreement, signed by the Prime Minister of Australia and the Minister for Education, can be accessed here: Better and Fairer Schools Agreement – Full and Fair Funding 2025– 2034.
* Clause 62, outlining the national funding priorities, can be found on Page 13 of the agreement.
