Covid-19 Condition on Approval
On 9 April 2020, the Minister for Education, the Hon Dan Tehan MP, placed a condition on all non-government independent approved authorities requiring that their schools maintain an on-campus learning option for students. This is to ensure that students that are unable to learn at home have an option to physically attend school. This might include children of essential workers, vulnerable students or students that do not have a safe learning environment at home. For more information, please read the COVID-19 Condition on Approval factsheet.
