112 Grant of travelling allowance in special circumstances

The Minister may, if the circumstances warrant special consideration, grant a travelling allowance for travel by a student attending a Government school or a non-Government school if—

(a) the student is precluded from attending a registered school that is appropriate for the student, within 4·8 kilometres of the student's place of residence, because of the lack of school accommodation; or

(b) in the case of a student undertaking subjects in year 11 or 12, the student is precluded from attending a registered school that is appropriate for the student, within 4·8 kilometres of the student's place of residence, because those studies are not offered at the school; or

(c) the student has a disability; or

(d) the student transfers from a campus of a registered secondary school to a more senior campus of that school and the campus from which the student has transferred—

(i) is the designated neighbourhood Government school or the nearest non‑Government school that is appropriate for the student; and

(ii) is 4⋅8 kilometres or more from the student's place of residence.
