School Bus Transport Assistance - FAQ's
 

Who Is Eligible?

All primary school students living further than 3.2km from the nearest state primary school to their residential address.

All secondary school services living further than 4.8km from the nearest state secondary school to their residential address.

Even if a student is not found eligible, they may still use the bus. They simply need to purchase a book of pre-paid tickets.

How Do I Apply For A Bus Pass?

There are two forms that you will need to fill out to get your child a bus pass. The first is issued by Queensland Transport, this form is one per family (up to 4 children). The second form is the HPBS Form, these are also one per family (up to 4 children).

Forms can be mailed out to you, collected from any Driver or filled out at the office. In most cases, if we receive a form over the counter we can process it and make up a pass on the spot.

Alternately, you can download and print out the two forms by visiting the Bus Pass Page. Please remember that the original, signed forms must be mailed back to us;

What if my Child loses their Pass?

If your child loses their pass they will need to get a replacement as soon as possible. Children without a pass will be asked to pay full fare by their Driver. Replacement passes cost $10.00 each, this can be refunded if the new pass is found within three weeks.

To get a new pass you need to contact the office or give the Bus Driver an envelope with $10.00 inside and the Student's name and address written on the outside. Alternately, contact the office.
