What is the SAS Resource Allocation Model?

One of the most valuable — and least understood — aspects of the SAS funding arrangement is the Resource Allocation Model. Under this model, a resource allocation of up to a set amount per student (amounts vary by qualification) may be available to schools to reinvest directly into the student learning experience.

This allocation is not a cash payment to the school. Rather, it is an amount that can be used to purchase materials, equipment, or activities that directly support student learning in the VETiS program. For hospitality students, this might mean purchasing ingredients, uniforms, or hospitality-related learning materials. For tourism students, it might support excursions or industry visits.

Resource Allocation Amounts (2026)

Qualification	Resource Allocation (per student)	Fee-for-service (unfunded students)
SIT20322 Certificate II in Hospitality	Up to $450 per student	$1,320 per student
SIT20125 Certificate II in Tourism	Up to $400 per student	$1,210 per student

These figures are current as at 2026. Resource allocation amounts are determined by the Queensland Government and are subject to change. Blueprint will confirm current allocations at the time of partnership setup.
