Public Transport Update for Our Families

We’d like to share important information from Transport Victoria regarding student travel. From 1 January 2026, public transport is free for children aged 5–17 years. To access free travel, students must carry a Youth myki card and remember to tap on and off each time they travel.

Youth myki cards can be purchased for $5 online via the Transport Victoria website, or in person at a staffed station or PTV Hub. Please note that cards purchased online are registered and expire when your child turns 18, while cards purchased in person are not registered and expire after four years.

If your child travels on V/Line services, they will still need to obtain a paper ticket or e-ticket and present their Youth myki to access the free fare.

We encourage families to ensure their child has a valid Youth myki card prior to the start of term.
