Is Your Child Eligible for DVA-Funded Tutoring? Here’s What You Need to Know

For families in the Australian Defence Force (ADF), education can sometimes be disrupted due to relocations, deployments, or other challenges that come with military life. Fortunately, the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) Education Schemes provide funding for tutoring support, helping children in military families receive the assistance they need to thrive in school.

At ThriveTutors, we make the process of accessing DVA-funded tutoring simple and stress-free. If your family qualifies, we handle the entire process for you—from paperwork to invoices—so all you need to do is focus on your child’s learning.

How Does DVA-Funded Tutoring Work?

The DVA Education Schemes help children of eligible veterans access financial support for education-related costs, including 1:1 tutoring. If your child needs extra learning support, the government covers the cost—at no out-of-pocket expense to you.

What is the DVA Tuition Scheme?

Additional Tuition is a scheme provided by the Federal Government and administered by the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) whereby eligible children are entitled to government funded private tutoring.

Currently, the DVA can approve $3,500 for additional tuition and further funding can be provided when required.

At ThriveTutors, your DVA funding will provide your child with 1 school year (40 weeks) of personalised, one-on-one tutoring. That’s 40 hours of additional learning for your child and a chance for them to thrive academically and beyond.

Who is Eligible?

As with many DVA claims, there are specific eligibility criteria that caregivers must meet. 

Under MRCAETS

A child of a member or former member who:

Is eligible, or was at some point, for the Special Rate Disability Pension (SRDP);

Suffers an impairment that constitutes 80 or more impairment points; or

Whose death was related to service.

Under VCES (VEA):

An eligible child is someone who is:

The child of a current or former member of the Australian Defence Force (ADF) who is receiving (or was receiving prior to their death) a Disability Compensation Payment:

At the special rate (commonly known as T&PI);

At the extreme disablement adjustment (EDA) rate;

At an increased rate because of multiple amputations, or multiple amputations and blindness; or

The child of a current or former ADF member whose death was war or defence caused; or

The child of a veteran who was an Australian prisoner-of-war and is now deceased.
