Bus services

There is a network of school bus services across the catchment are that provides transport for school children. These services focus on taking students to their closest schools. However, bus operators often provide additional bus services that allow parents to send their children to another school of their choice.

Bus travel assistance

Bus travel assistance is available for secondary students who live more than 4.8 kilometres from their nearest state high school and travel with their local bus operator. Students who live within 4.8 kilometres of their nearest high school may still receive some assistance if their parent/guardian holds a health care card or pensioner concession card.

Bus travel assistance is based on the fare to the nearest school. Students travelling to a school that is not their closest need to pay the bus operator a cash fare for the additional distance travelled.

Local bus operators

Bus operators have particular service areas. This table shows the operators for the various local suburbs.

Parents wanting information on the availability of bus services, timetables and fares, should contact their local operator.

Any other enquiries on student travel assistance may be made with Queensland Transport's school transport office on 07 3813 8613.
