If your child is enrolled at Mornington SDS, you may get extra help with their travel. This is called the Students with Disabilities Transport Program.
To apply, your child must:
Designated transport areas
At Mornington SDS we have a designated transport area (please see our transport map zone for further details). If you live in within the map zone, you may be able to get help with transporting your child to and from the school.
How to apply
Complete the attached application form. You can also ask the school to complete the form for you.
SDTP Application for Transport Assistance
You and your child must agree to the conditions of travel listed on this form. These cover:
Help with independent travel costs
If your child travels independently to and from Mornington SDS, you may be able to apply for help with the cost of their travel on public transport. This is called the conveyance allowance.
The conveyance allowance is a contribution towards travel costs. It does not cover the full cost of your child’s travel to and from school.
Special consideration for help with travel costs
If your child does not meet the criteria for the Students with Disabilities Transport Program or the Conveyance Allowance, you can apply for special case transport consideration. You must apply through Mornington SDS.
Your application may need to be reviewed by an independent panel called the Transport Special Case Consideration Panel. The panel meets every month during term one and once a term after that. You will not get help with transport until this panel has reached a decision. In most cases, your school will be able to let you know the outcome within 15 working days.
The panel will not consider applications about:
School Bus Program Emergency Management Operational Guidelines
Designated Transport Area Review Guidelines
