Commonwealth legislation
This determination sets how much Commonwealth financial assistance is payable for 2017 to "non‑participating" States and Territories and the non‑participating schools in them. It prescribes an indexation formula for prior‑year totals, fixes the overall 2017 payment ($4,082,663,937) and allocates that sum among the five non‑participating jurisdictions.
It operates under specified provisions of the Australian Education Act 2013 (as in force immediately before 1 January 2018), so it changes payment amounts and the distribution of funds but does not itself alter eligibility rules.
