Support available

Service NSW – Assistance for Isolated Children (AIC) scheme

The Assistance for Isolated Children (AIC) scheme helps parents and carers of children who can't go to a local state school. This could be because of geographical isolation, disability, or special needs.

If your child meets the requirements, you can claim now for the 2024 school year. Service NSW will backdate your payment to when you first became eligible.             

Claims for 2024 close on 1 March 2025.
