WA Student Assistance Payment
The new WA Student Assistance Payment will provide parents and carers with a $250
payment for each secondary student, and $150 for each primary school student or
kindergartener.
You will need a valid WA Student Number (WASN) to be eligible for the payment.
Important information on where to find your child’s WASN can be found here.
The payments will be available through the ServiceWA app from the start of Term 2 (April
15), and we encourage you to use the coming weeks to set up your ServiceWA account
and digital identity. Further information is available at wa.gov.au/servicewaapp.
