Forms
The EMA forms required by schools are available below:
-
2012 Parent Application Form (PDF - 242Kb) - the 2012 combined EMA/SSB Application Form is available for download. The parent application form must be completed in full and signed by the applicant. It is recommended that schools sight a copy of the Centrelink card to verify the spelling of the applicant's name. Parents with children commencing Prep or Year 7 must include bank account details to receive their School Start Bonus payment.
Translated versions of the application form are also available to provide to parents as a reference and can be downloaded here:
- Centrelink Validation Failure (PDF - 21Kb) - this one page letter is provided for schools to use to advise parents that their application has failed validation with Centrelink. Parents will need to take this letter to Centrelink and if Centrelink determines that the parent was actually eligible on the EMA eligibility date (1 February 2012 for the first instalment & 16 July 2012 for the second instalment), Centrelink will provide the parent with a Q053 confirmation letter which the parent must bring back to the school. The school then needs to fax this confirmation letter to Financial Services on fax number: (03) 9637 2224.
- User Access Request (PDF - 125Kb) - this form is to request access to the EMA & SSB web system for users at new schools. Existing EMA users with the 'School Approver' access level can add and remove EMA users to the 'School Approver' and 'School Administrator' roles at their school - without the need to complete this form.
- Creating a new EduWeb Account (PDF - 162Kb) - this document details the process for a non-government school to create an EduWeb account for the school. A school Eduweb account must be set up prior to requesting access to the EMA system for a staff member.
