It’s a great idea not to hand over cash so you know it will definitely be going towards the children’s uniforms and allowing them to go on camps as I know what it’s like to be the only one in class that misses out on going on camps. The money will probably come out of taxes. I can’t see the government handing over some of their wages.

This will be a great help for many struggling families

This will cost millions if not billions. I’m just wondering where the money is coming from

I’m sure this would be so welcome in all States and Territories.

This would really help… pity it’s not federal.

I hope most families get this incentive, would really be beneficial

Very smart of the govt to not hand out $400 cash, to make sure the money is spent on school things

My grandson goes to school in Victoria, I hope his parents are eligible. It will help, but only for a short time, it’s not a long term solution to the cost of living

Gee, I wish they did that in other states too. Cost of living is getting to be ridiculous!

I hope they keep this up for years to come!

This is a great initiative for struggling families with children.

Well bugger, my kid graduates this year. Still got a lot of expenses to go though. Will be handy for many.

So many questions as to how they can be used for uniform when we go to a different store for those

Sounds like welcome financial relief for parents.

Yes, it would be a great help and should be appreciated by parents of school aged children.

I wish they would do this in NSW. The cost of living is so high in NSW at the moment this would be such a great help!

  It would be good if it was an incentive all over Australia.

Lucky them.

This will be good for those who financially struggle in Victoria

Incentives to help with covering education costs are also welcome. Those in Victoria will be happy.

Bravo – more states should follow.
