The Department for Education of South Australia (EDSA) Schools must invoice CDU.
Claims for payment must be lodged through the EDSA Practicum Claims Module that allows school/preschool staff to make direct claims to Shared Services after the supervised day(s) have been completed. The school will then need to invoice CDU, and a Commercial in Confidence form must be submitted.
The Commercial-in-Confidence form only needs to be supplied once. Payments to mentors will be made via the EDSA Payroll System.
Please note: payments made using this method are processed within 30 days. The rate payable per preservice teacher per day is consistent with the standard rate outlined in the EDSA enterprise bargaining agreement.
