On 29 April 2020, the Hon Dan Tehan MP, Minister for Education, announced an option for approved authorities to bring their July 2020 recurrent funding payment forward. For approved authorities to receive the July 2020 recurrent funding in two equal payments in late May and early June 2020, fully completed declarations must be received by the department by 12pm Saturday, 2 May 2020.
