Camps, Sports & Excursions Fund (CSEF)
The CSEF provides payments to assist eligible families to cover the costs of camps, sporting activities and excursions.
Payments are made directly to an eligible student’s school. Schools must use a CSEF payment only for the eligible student and not for that student’s siblings or any other student (except where the eligible student leaves the Victorian education system and there are remaining and unspent funds).
Some common examples of school-organised programs for which a CSEF payment may be used include:
- school camps/trips
- swimming and other school-organised sporting programs
- outdoor education programs
- excursions/incursions
- graduations.
The CSEF payment cannot be used towards:
- books
- stationery
- school uniforms
- before/after school care
- music lessons
- locker hire
- classroom and homework materials
- formals or debutant balls
- other expenses unrelated to camps, sports or excursions.
Schools must process applications for CSEF payments as set out in the guidance by 26 June 2026.
