  2. The name at time of enrolment, date of birth, school name, and year level of each student you are claiming for.
  3. The bank account details where the payment will be deposited.

The WA Student Assistance Payment is a State Government initiative to provide cost-of-living relief to Western Australians and assist families with their children's schooling.

We acknowledge and respect the traditional custodians of the lands and waters on which our students live and are educated throughout Western Australia.

We acknowledge and understand that Elders, parents, families and communities are the first educators of their children and we recognise and value the cultures and strengths that Aboriginal children bring to the classroom. Aboriginal people have a long tradition of teaching and learning through sharing their connections with country, community, language and culture, and through their oral histories, stories and lived experiences that are passed from generation to generation. We recognise and value the learning that Aboriginal children bring with them from their homes and communities into the classroom.
