Students at St Joseph’s College have access to a number of public transport services and a range of dedicated bus routes to support them with their journey to and from the College.
Regular and reliable bus services provide transport from a number of locations in the South Eastern and Outer Eastern Suburbs to the College. Public buses and Contract school buses also service the College. These buses are provided by the Department of Education in conjunction with PTV and local bus companies.
A larger map of all routes and list of all travel times (including public buses/train services) is also available for download on our Website.
PTV School Bus Applications
As preparations for the 2025 School Year continue, a reminder that Public Transport Victoria (PTV) requires all travellers wishing to access PTV operated school buses (Macclesfield, Silvan and Cockatoo buses only) to submit travel applications each year.
To apply for travel, parents must log in to the School Bus Management System https://studenttravelassistance.educationapps.vic.gov.au/
Once you have submitted your renewed application, the School Bus Management System will assess your application and send you a travel offer. Please log back into the School Bus Management System and manage your offers. This will ensure your son is approved to travel on a PTV bus in the 2025 School Year.
Applications for bus travel in 2025 are currently being accepted and processed by PTV. If you require assistance to login to the School Bus Management System, renew your son’s travel applications or you are unsure of your son’s travel status, please contact 1800 338 663 or schoolbus@education.vic.gov.au
