School fees!!!!!!!
 

Hi , am I right in thinking that you have pay school fees if your child is on a sponsored visa??? This is with public schools?? :unsure:

Re: School fees!!!!!!!
 

Which particular visa? Do you mean the 457? And which State are you moving to?

Re: School fees!!!!!!!
 

Hi, employer sponsored visa 457 for Adelaide or Perth, ( not quite sure which area yet)
Thanks :)

Re: School fees!!!!!!!
 

You're fine then. Only ACT and NSW charge school fees for students on temporary visas at present.

Be aware though, that schooling can still be a dear do, even at state schools.

Here are the government department websites for education in SA and WA respectively, just for info.

South Australia

Western Australia

You are OK with WA, though you will still pay some form of school fees for public schools.

Our Charges and Voluntary contributions for this year are $614.00 PLUS the cost of all the school books and equipment required - This is for a year 9 child (second year High School).
