All you need to know about Back to School in Australia
Back to School is an annual shopping sale held at the end of the summer holidays before the school year begins. In Australia, Back to School takes place in January, to help get parents and children ready for the new school year at the end of January and beginning of February.
Many retailers hold a month-long sale, where you can pick up all your Back to School essentials at discounted prices. Products on sale typically include all kinds of stationery, such as exercise books, pencils and pens, and mathematics equipment. You will find everything you need for school at the Back to School sale. School shoes are included in the sale, so if you are a parent, this is the perfect time to stock up on shoes for your son or daughter. Other products sold at knockdown prices in January are bags for school, including lunch boxes and cooler bags. Tech items such as mobile phones, laptops and tablets are also sold at reduced prices, so the Back to School sale is the perfect time to pick up a new gadget after Christmas.
Back to School is held both in stores and online. With many parents already back at work in January after the Christmas break, it is often easier to shop online. You can get everything you need for school without leaving the comfort of your sofa.

Back to school bonus 2019
Although the Schoolkids Bonus was phased out in 2016, there is other financial help that parents may be eligible to receive. Each state has different schemes in place. For example, in New South Wales, your child may be eligible for the School Student Transport Scheme which offers free or discounted travel for school students. The scheme begins from Kindergarten Year 2, and runs right up to Secondary School Year 12. Students can apply for a travel pass for free travel to and from school. Queensland parents can apply for financial assistance for purchase of textbooks and learning resources. The Textbook and Resource Allowance only covers secondary school students. The other states also have their own programmes for financial assistance for parents of school children, such as Victoria’s State Schools Relief and South Australia’s School Card Scheme.
