The online estimator will be updated after mid-April with indexation estimates based on forecasts in the 2025-26 Budget update (released on 25 March 2025). This will result in increased funding estimates from 2026 onwards.

We’ll post a news item on SchoolsHUB when we’ve updated the online estimator.

For further information on indexation rates, download the Department of Education factsheet How is school funding indexed?

Why your school must have up-to-date details on SchoolsHUB

Having up-to-date details will ensure we can contact your school’s appropriate representative and process any funding-affecting changes. 

To use SchoolsHUB, you must be a registered user. You may have had staffing changes so it’s important to check who has access to your school’s data. Approved authorities should also check the correct people have the right level of access to submit your data – this includes your independent qualified accountant.

How to notify us of changes

Approved authorities can sign into SchoolsHUB now and select Manage Organisation to review or update information. Please notify us of your school’s changes as soon as possible.

We’re here to help 

For help with updating your school’s details:

You can now sign into SchoolsHUB to complete your school’s 2025 address collection. You will need to submit your data by 12 March 2025.

Address collection data feeds into your capacity to contribute (CTC) scores, which we are aiming to release earlier in the year. Every school that receives a CTC score must provide their data before we can begin calculating CTC scores for any school. By submitting your address collection data by the due date, you’ll help ensure all schools have their CTC scores in time to assist with planning and budgeting.

Visit the address collection page on SchoolsHUB for more information.
