The proposal would establish a $100 million Remote Indigenous Student Success Boarding Fund to support remote Indigenous students. The fund would run across 2 competitive grant rounds, building a pipeline of infrastructure projects which prioritise regional boarding schools.
There would also be an associated increase in the Indigenous Boarding Providers Grant Program to cater for the expanded number of boarding students.
The proposal would start on 1 July 2025.
