  • Australian Education Amendment (Direct Measure of Income) Bill 2020 [Provisions]
    COALITION OF REGIONAL INDEPENDENT SCHOOLS AUSTRALIA www.crisa.org.au Senate Education and Employment Legislation Committee Inquiry into the Australian Education Amendment (Direct Measure of Income) Bill 2020 [Provisions] Submission by the Coalition of Regional Independent Schools Australia 12 March 2020 Senate Education and Employment Legislation Committee Inquiry into the Australian Education Amendment (Direct Measure of Income) Bill 2020 [Provisions] Submission by the Coalition of Regional Independent Schools Australia Who Are We? The Coalition of Regional Independent Schools Australia (CRISA) was formed to support the continued provision of quality education through independent day and boarding schools which serve communities across rural, regional and outer-metropolitan Australia. Member schools share a concern that proposed Commonwealth ‘DMI’ funding will seriously undermine their operations. Summary 1.1 CRISA advocates fair funding for all schools. 1.2 CRISA supports the general principle of measuring a school’s need for funding by reference to its parents’ incomes. 1.3 Regulations to accompany this legislation currently use a school’s parents’ median income to calculate “capacity to contribute”. This means that funding is determined by the income of the wealthier half of the school community. This is not fair. 1.4 Regional parents have limited choice of independent schooling, so regional schools must cater for a broad spread of parental incomes and make schooling affordable for those with modest “capacity to contribute”. 1.5 Because established regional and outer-metropolitan schools are mostly in the mid-range of SES, the largest burden of funds-shifting falls on them. 1.6 The median income funding model, if not varied, will result in many regional schools losing millions of dollars of funding.
