Overview and available funding

The Government has committed $450 million to help build and upgrade low-fee catholic, independent and Islamic schools across the state. The distribution of funding between the sector bodies will mean independent schools receive up to 30 per cent of this investment, including $30 million to build and upgrade Islamic schools[1] (from the independent schools share of funding).

This grant round is to support “low-fee” paying Islamic schools. Low fee-paying schools are defined using an income per student value of $8,125 per year (indexed annually), or as otherwise decided by the Minister for Education. 

Schools must provide evidence of the financial need for funding assistance under the program, through supporting documentation and response to merit assessment criteria. The evidence should outline schools do not have the capacity to meet the total cost of the project through cash reserves, borrowings and fund-raising.

[1] Registered as Islamic denomination with the Victorian Registrations and Qualifications Authority (VRQA), or as agreed between the sector body and VSBA.
