For the schools funding quadrennium 2005-08, a condition of Australian Government general funding to schools was that all schools have a functioning flagpole flying the Australian flag.
The FFI assisted eligible schools to meet this requirement by providing up to $1,500 per school to install, replace or repair a flagpole.
The FFI is now closed.
No further federal government funding will be made available for flagpoles. State governments and non-government school authorities may provide funding for flagpoles from their school maintenance and infrastructure budgets. Schools should contact their respective state education department or school authority for information about possible funding for flagpoles.
Please note that the flagpoles email address has been decommissioned and any emails sent to this address will not be received by the Department.
