Eligibility

Eligible students must be enrolled in Kindergarten to Year 12 at a Western Australian public school, non-government school or registered for home education, and have a valid WASN.

 

What you need

  1. The WA student number (WASN) for each student. This 8-digit number is sometimes called a SCSA or student number. This number can be found on school reports, including previous NAPLAN results. It may also be on a school issued secondary student's SmartRider.
  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.

Please contact the school if you cannot locate your child's WA student Number. 

 

Check all claim information carefully before submitting. Once submitted, claims cannot be altered and will be declined if incorrect information is provided. If a claim is declined a new claim will need to be submitted.
