The social disadvantage allocation is provided for eligible students to help schools address the higher and additional learning needs of students from the most disadvantaged backgrounds.
Funding is provided for each student in the lowest three deciles. The highest amount of funding is for students in the first decile as they represent the most disadvantaged students.
Funding for each student increases as the proportion of students in each decile increases. Where the proportion of students in the three deciles is less than 5% of total enrolments at the school, funding is at the lowest amount for each decile.
The 2016 student-centred funding model social disadvantage total allocations are as follows:
Social Disadvantage Decile
Total Allocations
a. Decile 1
$36,196,046
b. Decile 2
$24,152,941
c. Decile 3
