To apply for conveyance allowance:
A PTV Approved School Student ID is now accepted as students’ entitlement to buy student passes and concession fares. This new, flexible option means that students at Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ no longer need to arrange, pay for and carry the dedicated PTV School Student ID to travel on student passes or concession fares.
A valid student Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ ID card is adequate to purchase the yearly or half-yearly pass. The PTV Application Form with the passport photo is not required as a result.
If your daughter does not have a valid Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ ID card we can reprint this for $ 8.00.

• A current conveyance allowance application claim lodge with your current address. Done at the commencement at Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ and only relodged if you change your address.
