Premier’s Back to School program to assist families.

 

Eligible businesses in NSW can now register as an approved provider for the Premier’s Back to School NSW program, which will deliver families $150 worth of vouchers for each child enrolled to attend school in 2023.

 

State premier Dominic Perrottet (pictured) said a new school year was an expensive time for families, and this new program would help them pay for essential items.

 

Three $50 Premier’s Back to School NSW Vouchers are available for each child and can be spent on supplies at any registered business – from school uniforms and prescribed textbooks to general stationery and equipment, such as lunchboxes and drink bottles.

 

“We are encouraging all businesses who stock school supplies to register as a provider as soon as possible, to ensure all families are able to take advantage of the program before the 2023 school year begins,” the Premier said.

 

Minister for Education and Early Learning Sarah Mitchell said the back-to-school period was exciting for families, but could also be stressful with school supplies adding up quickly.

 

“No matter if your child goes to a public or non-government school, you will have access to the Premier’s Back to School NSW Vouchers,” Mitchell said.

 

Minister for Customer Service and Digital Government Victor Dominello said the registration process would be simple and available online.

 

Eligible businesses can register as providers through the Service NSW website from today or by speaking with a Business Concierge who can lead them through the process.

 

The vouchers can be redeemed using the same app many businesses already have on their devices, so approved providers simply need to ensure the Service NSW for Business app is updated to begin scanning.

 

The Premier’s Back to School NSW vouchers will be available for parents to download and use from December.
