The Administrative Assistance Enhancement Program (AAEP) provides assistance to support the administration of special schools.
Schools may use these funds to employ casual (AAEP) staff, to purchase labour on a contract basis or to purchase equipment which enhances the administrative performance of the school, such as equipment specifically used in the administrative area of the school. This is a school grant which is to be included with other school grants and reported via the Annual Report.

Formula-generated cash grant
| Payment | During month of | Proportion of allocation paid | Enrolments |
|---|---|---|---|
| Semester 1 Payment 1 | February | 80% of estimated Semester 1 allocation | July Census |
| Semester 1 Payment 2 | April | Balance of actual Semester 1 allocation | February enrolment |
| Semester 2 Payment 1 | July | 80% of estimated Semester 2 allocation | February enrolment |
| Semester 2 Payment 2 | October | Balance of actual Semester 2 allocation | July Census |
A formula provides a 'total allocation' of AAEP hours per week based principally on professional staff. The total allocation for each school is adjusted according to the entitlement of permanent administrative support staff at the school. The resultant figure is then used to determine a semester dollar entitlement by applying the casual hourly wage rate for administrative officers and the number of school weeks in the semester.
Special school
H = (2.6 x P) + 11
Special School Early Childhood Development Programs (ECDP)
H = (2.6 x P) + 5.6
* P = Professional staff
Notes
H = notional total hours of assistance per week
P = number of professional staff
The result of this formula calculation for Total Hours is truncated to an Integer.
When changes occur in the number of permanent public servants located at a school, a pro-rata adjustment to AAEP payment will apply from the date the change occurred.
A minimum of 5 casual hours per week applies to primary and special schools with registrars except where the school may have a converted AO2/AAEP position.
Refer to the AAEP Ready Reckoner 
81k.
The AAEP hourly rate as at 1 August 2011 is $31.4457.
For calculation purposes, the school year is divided into two Semesters of 20 weeks each.
All rates reflect the payment and recovery process for school funded labour.
