The aim of the Queensland Government's school transport assistance schemes is to assist parents without removing their personal responsibility for transporting their children to school.
A Code of Conduct has been developed to encourage and support appropriate behaviour of school students travelling on buses. The Code includes information for students, parents, schools and transport operators.
The department provides school transport assistance for students with disabilities where it is warranted by the needs of the individual student and by the circumstances of the family.
Parents/carers may contact the Education Queensland school or district office in their local area to discuss issues related to school transport assistance for students with disabilities. Details of the program can be found in the School Transport Assistance Program for Students with Disabilities
