The government wish to inform our school community that the second round of the WA Student Assistance Payment will be available to eligible students across Western Australia from 28 April to 4 July 2025.

How to Claim:
Parents and carers are to apply for the payment via the ServiceWA App.

The payment is available for all WA school students from Kindergarten to Year 12 with an active enrolment at a registered primary or secondary school. Eligible families may claim:

  • $250 per secondary student
  • $150 per primary student

The WA Student Assistance Payment can be claimed by:

  • a primary care giver responsible for the eligible student
  • a student aged 18 or over
  • an independent minor, and
  • a young carer under the Carers Recognition Act (2004) (WA).

 Note:

Non-Eligible Students:
The following are not eligible for the payment:

  • Students without an active enrolment at a WA school
  • Children in kindergarten programs not delivered by a registered WA school
  • Children in residential care, group foster care, or complex care arrangements (as defined by the Department of Communities)

  1. Log in to your SEQTA Engage account.
  2. Select your child’s name.
  3. Navigate to the Reports section.
  4. Open any recent report – the WASN will be listed near the top of the page.

If you have any trouble accessing SEQTA Engage or locating the report, please don’t hesitate to contact the school office for support.
