21CTC score

#### 21 CTC score (1) For the purposes of subsection 52(4) of the Act, a school’s CTC score to be determined by the Minister must be the number worked out in accordance with this section. CTC score for 2020 or 2021 (2) The number that is the CTC score for a school for 2020 or for 2021 is whichever of the following would, if it were the CTC score for the school for the year, result in the highest amount of financial assistance being payable to a State or Territory for the school for the year under Division 2 of Part 3 of the Act: (a) the average DMI score; (b) the 2016 SES score; (c) the 2011 SES score. CTC score for 2022 or later years (3) In working out the CTC score for a school for 2022 or a later year, the number is: (a) the average DMI score for the school for the year; or (b) the refined area based score for the school for the year worked out in accordance with section 23, if the Minister is satisfied that: (i) it is not reasonably practicable to use the average DMI score for the school for the year; and (ii) if less than 95% of the residential addresses included in a school’s statement of student addresses can be assigned to the Statistical Area Level 1 in which the addresses are located—it is still appropriate to work out a refined area based score for the school for the year. > Note: This section does not apply to a school if the Minister is satisfied that determining the school’s CTC score in accordance with this section would result in a CTC score that does not accurately reflect the capacity of the persons responsible for students at the school to contribute financially to the operation of the school (see subsection 52(4) of the Act).
