Question:
To ask the Minister of Education whether he plans to review the School Transport Policy to include families who are currently excluded.

Answer:

A review of the Home to School Transport Policy commenced in 2018, however this was paused by the then Minister due to the pandemic and then suspended pending the outcome of The Independent Review of Education.

My Department is currently considering the report published by the Independent Review of Education and in this context we will consider the utility of a new separate review of the policy.
