Due to planned maintenance, SchoolsHUB will be unavailable on 8 October between midday and 1 pm (AEDT).
You can resume using SchoolsHUB after 1 pm (AEDT).
From Friday 2 October 2026, approved authorities will no longer be able to submit school applications, requests or changes through SchoolsHUB or via email. These functions are moving to the Education Funding System (EFS) and will be available from mid-October 2026. Further updates will be provided once the functions become available.
Due to planned maintenance, SchoolsHUB will be unavailable during the following periods:
- Friday 25 September between 7 pm and 11 pm (AEST)
- Sunday 27 September between 5:30 am and 4 pm (AEST)
Normal services will resume after 4 pm AEST on Sunday 27 September.
Due to the transition to the EFS, the SchoolsHUB online estimator is no longer being updated with the latest data. As a result, you may need to update fields with any changes made after July 2026, including accounting for indexation, to ensure the estimator tool still provides reasonable funding estimates. If you require assistance with calculating estimates or updates to data for your school, please contact your non-government representative body (NGRB).
A replacement estimator tool using up-to-date data will soon be accessible via the EFS. We'll notify you when it becomes available and provide information on how to access and use it.
