From 28 November 2024, you will need to sign into SchoolsHUB with multi-factor authentication (MFA) – you cannot opt out of MFA after this date.

MFA is the most secure way you can sign into your SchoolsHUB account because it adds an extra layer of protection. You may already be using MFA for other online accounts when you receive an authentication code by text message or email after entering your password to sign in. SchoolsHUB MFA is similar.

All Australian Government agencies are moving towards using MFA to protect web portals that store sensitive data (e.g. personal, health or identity-related data). This means it will be mandatory to use MFA when signing into Australian Government web portals like SchoolsHUB. 

If you’re not signing into SchoolsHUB with MFA, we strongly encourage you to set it up now. This will immediately make your account more secure and ensure you’re prepared when MFA becomes mandatory.

We’re here to help

For help with setting up MFA:

• visit the SchoolsHUB user management page
• submit an enquiry on SchoolsHUB
• call 1800 677 027 (select option 1).

We’ve just released the SchoolsHUB 2025 key dates calendar, outlining all the activities you’ll need to complete for your school next year.

The calendar is a handy resource that helps approved authorities and their representatives plan for their SchoolsHUB collection activities and payments during the year.

The Online Estimator has been updated to rollover projected funding to the period 2025 to 2028.

The determined 2025 Capacity to Contribute (CTC) scores for CTC-eligible non-government schools are not yet available on the Online Estimator. The populated scores for 2025 used by the Online Estimator are based on schools’ determined 2024 CTC scores.

To make an estimate using an updated CTC score, you can manually enter your school’s 2025 CTC score into the Online Estimator’s CTC field.

For information on:

• the latest indexation rates, visit the Department of Education website
• how to access the Online Estimator, visit the SchoolsHUB Finance help

If you have any enquiries, please contact recurrentfundingestimates@education.gov.au.

The 2025 Capacity to Contribute (CTC) scores have been released for all CTC-eligible non-government schools. 

We use these scores to determine your school’s 2025 Commonwealth recurrent funding entitlements in line with the Australian Education Act 2013 and Australian Education Regulations 2023.  

Find your school’s 2025 CTC score on the Department of Education website.

Online Estimator

2025 CTC scores are not currently reflected in the Online Estimator available through SchoolsHUB. We are working to include them over the coming weeks and will notify you on SchoolsHUB when the scores are incorporated.

SchoolsHUB will soon have a new page for when you sign in. 

The new page makes signing in to SchoolsHUB more secure and user friendly.

You’ll still be able to sign in to SchoolsHUB with your current username and password – there will be no change to the sign-in process.

Visit the user management page for more information on SchoolsHUB account security.
