• Far North Queensland
• North Queensland
• Central Queensland
• Darling Downs South-West.

Duration of program

Eligibility

State schools with eligible staff

Allocation of funds

Schools in receipt of this appropriation will be allocated a fixed amount which contributes to their attendance at i-Educate. Based on geographical location, travel availability and booking timeframes, schools may be required to cover travel costs which exceed the allocated amount.

Schools may also be eligible to receive reimbursements for approved Teacher Relief Scheme (TRS) where teaching staff are involved in presenting and facilitating workshops at i-Educate.

Funding is dependent on the number of allowances offered at i-Educate and the number of teachers who require TRS to cover their attendance for presenting at the event. The total funding is approved by the Assistant Director-General Information and Technologies annually.

In 2024, 8 successful applicants will receive $3,000 to assist with costs associated with attending the conference. These funds will be paid to and managed by the school.

How to apply

Applications will open on SurveyManager each year based on project timeframes. As part of the survey, applicants are prompted to detail the potential advantages of attending i-Educate for themselves, their school and their community. Once the expression of interest (EOI) process closes, applicants are assessed by an evaluation panel, with consideration given to their responses and overall merit.
