Please note that there will be a delay in the opening of applications for the 2015 ELTF program.

Following the 2014-15 Budget, changes are being considered for the January 2015 program, as some of the ELTF funds have been redirected to ACARA to develop new languages curricula for Foundation to Year 10. For further information please click see the Q&A sheet below or click here.

As a result the application opening date will be delayed for a number of weeks.  Please check the ELTF website where further information will be provided once details are confirmed.

Dates for the information sessions planned for Oxford Street and via Adobe Connect will be announced once the new application timelines have been confirmed.
