The proposal would provide up to $8.5 million to support the establishment of Australia’s first Hindu school. The funding would include:

• up to $850,000 to be provided to the Hindu Council of Australia for a business case to assess feasibility, costs, location, benefits and risks to ensure the location of the school, regulation and planning processes receive the backing they need
• a further $7.65 million for capital expenditure once the business case is completed.

The proposal would start on 1 July 2025.
