Billing information for bursars / business managers

What to know when you bill the TAC for integration aide and teacher services

• You must send your application to the TAC and receive our approval before the service/support starts.
• Depending on the stability of the student’s program, approval periods can be between one term and one year.
• The TAC does not employ school staff.
• The employment contract a school may enter into with its employees is independent of any funding arrangement the TAC may have with that school.
• Please use the relevant form when you bill the TAC:
  • Integration Support: Teacher Account Form, or
  • Integration Support: Aide Account Form
• We can only pay for services after they are provided.
• You can bill us each term. If your school is small, we can consider paying each month.

How to calculate rates of payment

• On-costs are calculated according to the method of employment (central or local payroll).
• On-costs include sick leave and relief staff allocation, if applicable.
• Rates and the on-costs paid by the TAC are available at www.tac.vic.gov.au/rates
• We may ask that recall days are used if extra time is requested for excursions or school camps.
• Integration Teachers are only paid for the weeks of the term.
• Integration Aides may be employed on 48/52. This does not apply to casual staff.

Who to contact if you are having difficulties

The TAC coordinator working with your school will be able to help you with:

• applications for support and billing procedures
• questions about on-costs and recall days

The Department of Education and Training Victoria can help with issues about how TAC funding may affect your budget.
