Kids education
Need to make some decisions pretty urgently and am getting totally bogged down with internet searches.
When I find something useful the next thing tends to contradict.
Can anyone put me on the right track for solid info on the following please?
University
17 year old is completing a Diploma in IT equivalent to three A levels. Considering going uni in OZ.
College
15 year old would go college for 2 years in UK but what happens in OZ ?
We are Victoria bound and could be on a 4 year 457 temp visa which will have quite an effect on fees I understand.
I am trying to get some idea of what it might cost us.
Many thanks.

Re: Kids education
ABC,
That's exactly what I have been trying to find and it's good news.
Victoria don't charge international student fees for temp visa holders.
Just got to get my head around uni fees now for the eldest son.
Thanks a lot ABC - and thanks WB for bonking
