Funding Round 11 Closing Soon

Applications close on the 11th June 2014 for funding to fit seatbelts on your buses. This is available for up to $25,000 per bus.

You need to have a school bus contract in a regional area, with a route that goes over 80km/hr.

The subsidy is to cover any costs associated with fitting approved lap/sash seatbelts into your buses and to perform any associated engineering work.

With your application you must provide details like:

• ABN
• School run contract details
• Details of the route
• Bus details including VIN
• Quote for the work

Once successful you go into a funding agreement with the commonwealth.
