Quick & Easy Tips for Business Managers:
Accessing State Schools’ Relief Support

As a Business Manager, you play a crucial role in ensuring that students facing financial hardship have access to the resources they need to succeed in their educational journey. State Schools’ Relief provides vital support to students in need, helping to remove barriers to learning by supplying school uniforms, shoes, and other essentials required for school.

You often have the best understanding of the situations facing families and students in your school community. Our assistance is available year round to any student in need, particularly those from low-income backgrounds, experiencing hardship, or who may be in out-of-home care.

1. Submit Applications Early – Demand can be high, so apply as soon as you identify a student in need to ensure timely assistance.
2. Use our Online Portal – The SSR online application system is the fastest way to lodge requests and track progress. Ensure your school’s account details, uniform profile and staff contact details are up to date.
3. Communicate with Families – Many families are unaware of the support available. Proactively share information with parents and guardians to help them understand how they can access SSR assistance.
4. Stay Updated – SSR offerings may change from time to time, so stay informed via our online newsletters, EDMs and direct communications with SSR representatives.
5. Quick Links – SSR has a range of specific items to support staff when submitting applications if you’re interested. These can be accessed via our Resources & Downloads tab.
