Schools Assistance Act 2008

For the purpose of paragraph 66(2)(a), work out the amount for the school’s Indigenous primary students at non‑remote school campuses of the school for the program year using the formula:

$1,600; or

if the regulations specify a greater amount under subsection (3) for the program year—that amount.

The regulations may specify, by reference to an amount or a formula for calculating an amount:

an additional amount of assistance for each Indigenous student from a remote area receiving primary education at a non‑remote campus;

an additional amount of assistance for each Indigenous student from a very remote area receiving primary education at a non‑remote campus.

For the purpose of paragraph 66(2)(b), work out the amount for the school’s Indigenous primary students at remote and very remote school campuses of the school for the program year using the formula:

$3,850; or

if the regulations specify a greater amount under subsection (3) for the program year—that amount.

The regulations may specify an amount as an assistance amount per student for the purposes of subsection (1) or (2) for a program year.

Regulations made for the purposes of subsection (3) may provide for an increase in an assistance amount per student (from one program year to the next) by reference to changes in a specified index.

Despite subsection 14(2) of the Legislation Act 2003, regulations made for the purposes of this section may make provision in relation to a matter by applying, adopting or incorporating, with or without modification, any matter contained in any other instrument or other writing as in force or existing from time to time.
