We publish your confirmed entitlement staffing in Pourato by 1 April each year.

If the confirmed amount is higher than the provisional amount, your entitlement staffing increases. You continue to receive the provisional amount if it is higher.

Use Pourato to see if you are using confirmed or provisional entitlement staffing. A yellow banner will appear above your staffing entitlement advising which entitlement your school is using.

You need to consider how your entitlement affects staffing decisions and permanent appointments. Click the yellow banner to see advice relevant to your school.

Permanent staff appointments

We also use the 1 March roll return from a school or kura to:

  • calculate operational funding instalments (we recalculate instalments throughout the year)
  • determine if the principal grading roll has changed.

Read how the principals’ salary grades are determined using the principal grading roll.
