Neoliberal policies focus on market forces, completion of school and individual responsibility. This can lead to a significant impact on funding inequity in schools. Reduced government spending with cuts in public school funding, impacts core educational programs. This chapter explores the inequitable funding of non-mainstream educational settings in Victoria, Australia. Two distinct contexts - a year nine program embedded into a large mainstream school, and a specialist young parent program in an offsite annex of another large mainstream school are examined. Despite the unique needs of these programs, adequate support and experiences for the students can be difficult to implement due to insufficient funding. Through a diffractive creative methodology, transcript excerpts from the two contexts are examined. The analysis of the data indicates the social and economic injustices that arise from inadequate funding in the two contexts. The findings suggest that the current funding model for schooling fails to meet the needs of students in the two programs, leading to disparities in educational opportunities. It is recommended that a re-evaluation of funding priorities in the Australian education system is undertaken. Increased funding for non-mainstream programs, would promote greater equity to students and ensure that all students have access to quality education, regardless of their background or circumstances.
