Hi Gill, Phil and Harry

Small world eh? we are from Northampton and looking to move to Melbourne in January.

In answer to your question, my understanding is that under the 457 Visa, dependant children and spouses have the same rights to education and employment as residents.

I have emailed the Victoria Gov to try and get a definitive answer but if anyone else can confirm this it would be appreciated, as I originally asked for a permanent Resi visa and have now accepted the 457 on the understanding that school fees won't be an issue (unless we choose a private school of course).

Perhaps we can share a cab to the airport - lol

John (44), Treena (42) and Sammi (10).
