Catholic school systems will still be able to direct their funding under the government's new model, says Education Minister Simon Birmingham.
Senator Birmingham told reporters in Canberra the new plan involved calculating on a needs basis funding for each school across Australia, including those within the Catholic school systems.
"For those within the Catholic school systems, we then will aggregate each of those lots of funding for each of those schools and we will hand it over to the Catholic education system in that state or territory and they will then be able to choose how they distribute it between their schools," he said on Thursday.
