Allocation of funds

An amount of $840,800 is allocated between the regions each semester, based on the distribution of Behaviour Management staffing allocations through the Whole school support—Student Learning Resources (WSS-SLR) model. Regions then use clusters to determine the best use of funds, which may include payments to schools. Individual regional methodologies are as follows:

Metropolitan South region

Funds are utilised in the following ways:

  • funds are held by the region to manage program outcomes and expenses, professional development, resources and travel to support emergent behaviour management concerns related to and/or support of complex student behaviour
  • funds are distributed directly to schools to support program outcomes
  • funds are distributed to schools to manage and coordinate program related expenses.

Metropolitan North region

Funds are utilised in the following ways:

  • some funds are held by the region to manage program outcomes and support schools to build capability to manage complex student behaviour
  • some funds may be available to directly assist schools with emergent behaviour support requirements. Schools can apply for this support, with applications considered on a case-by-case basis.

South East region

Funds are utilised as follows:

  • schools can apply for additional resources to support improvements in students’ behavioral engagement through an application process considered on a case by case basis

  • kilometric allowance is paid for itinerant staff.
