Bus Services
Minaret College works in partnership with local bus providers to offer a partially subsidised bus service for our students. The bus service is available for both morning pick-up and afternoon drop-off for the convenience of families and the safety of students.
Applications to use the bus can be submitted at any time during the year. The time between the application being received and the service being available will depend on seat availability and impact on existing bus routes. The Admin team will update you after your application is received.
We are now processing requests for the 2024 bus service. To ensure the service is available from the start of next year, applications must be received by Tuesday 31 October. Applications can be submitted to our Admin team at each campus by completing the below application form. Completed forms can also be emailed to bus@minaret.vic.edu.au
For any questions regarding the bus service, please contact our Admin team at any campus
Government Conveyance Grant
The Victorian Government offers some students financial assistance in the form of the Conveyance Grant. The grant is available to subsidise travel costs for eligible Victorian students. Based on location, only students attending Officer Campus are eligible for the Government Conveyance Grant. Applications are further assessed based on individual eligibility criteria.
Further information regarding the grant and eligibility is available here.
