The online estimator has been updated to rollover projected funding to the period 2026 to 2029.
The Australian Government has committed to a temporary 12-month rollover of current CTC scores for 2026. This means your school's 2026 CTC score will be the same as the 2025 score (except for ‘deemed’ scores).
These 2026 CTC Scores are now included in the online estimator
