An applicant may be requested to complete the Assistance for Isolated Children (AIC) Marginal Distance Confirmation (SY069) to provide documentary evidence that the applicant's principal family home satisfies one of the geographical isolation rules to qualify for AIC.

The SY069 may be requested when the distance between the applicant's principal family home and the nearest appropriate state school is very close to the AIC qualifying limits.

The applicant needs to complete Questions 1 to 5.

Advise the applicant that the following authorities may complete the rest of the SY069:

• local bus company proprietor
• local shire clerk/engineer, or
• local/ state/ national roads, water and/or land management authority

The applicant can assist by advising the name of the nearest appropriate state school.

The authority completing the SY069 should provide the following information:

• the exact distance (one way) in kilometres from the principal home to the school via the shortest practical route (where there is no transport service to that school)
• the exact distance (one way) in kilometres from the principal home to the nearest available transport pick-up point, going to the state school by the shortest practical route
• the exact distance (one way) in kilometres from the transport pick-up point to the school by the route used by the transport service route
• the time taken to complete the return journey from the principal home to the state school
• whether or not a closer transport pick-up point could be made available to the family if requested
• If yes, state the distance to the alternative pick-up point
• If no, state whether the principal family home is less than 4.5 km (one way) from available transport to another appropriate state school (give name of school)

The staff member of the authority providing the information is required to provide their name, contact phone number, signature and date on the SY069. They should also advise if they are the person who measured and/or verified the distance or time requested in the questions.
