Tertiary Education
Motion:
“That ICPA (Aust) requests the Minister for Social Services to increase Centrelink Rent Assistance payments, to reflect the rising costs of rent for geographically isolated students who have to live away from home to access a tertiary education.”
Explanation:
Obviously regional, remote, and very remote children need to factor in rent to their study plans. Rent is the biggest component of a student’s costs and is often prohibitive therefore to study for example in a larger city or may mean that a student has to work so much that their course suffers.
