On 30 April 2010, the Australian Government released a Review of Funding for Schooling Discussion Paper and draft Terms of Reference for the review for public comment.
On 9 July 2010, the former Minister for Education, Simon Crean, announced the release of the final Terms of Reference for the review, following stakeholder submissions and feedback on the draft Terms of Reference.
The final Terms of Reference were updated on 11 November 2010 to reflect the change in Minister and the extension of the current funding arrangements for non-government schools until 2013.
