Allowances
Motion:
“That ICPA (WA) continues to lobby the Minister for Education and the State Government for an increase in the Boarding Away from Home Allowance (BAHA), to bring it back in line with the consumer price index (CPI) annually.
Explanation:
The BAHA is an important subsidy that rural and remote families rely heavily on each year when sending their children away from home to provide them with an adequate education. An increase in this allowance would significantly help rural families as boarding fees are ever increasing annually.
