Central West Queensland schools that utilise this program are Longreach State High School and Aramac, Barcaldine, Blackall and Winton State Schools.

From 2019 to 2032 (10 year extension from 2022)
Eligibility

Allocation of funds
The fixed budget of this appropriation is $60,000 per annum.
As part of an election commitment, the department provides this appropriation as an in-kind contribution towards the operational costs (registration and insurance) associated with the program. As Longreach State High School is the host school for the Big Red Truck and responsible for maintaining the budget, they are the only school that will receive funding under this appropriation.
The schools that participate in the Big Red Truck program self-fund the remaining ongoing costs, some of which are offset by hiring revenue.
Payment details
How to applyThere is no application required by Longreach State High School to receive these funds.
