Hi Shez
Sorry, I am confused by your post.
Do you mean that your Hubby would be the sponsored worker on the 457 visa?
If so, it does seem that you would be able to study full-time if you wish. I would suggest that you ask the Education Department in the relevant State about the fees, though.
NSW and the ACT charge school fees of about $5,000 per child per year for the school-aged children of 457 visa holders, so in either of those States you would have to pay the full private-rate fees for a college course, I suspect.
The other States seem to treat the children of 457 visa holders in the same way as they treat the children of Citizens & PRs, meaning that the fees are about $300 per child per year just to cover stationery etc.
Each State has its own Education Department. Therefore in your shoes I would thrash this one out with both the Education Department and with the relevant collage that you may wish to attend. Make sure both are singing from the same hymn-sheet, I would suggest.
Best wishes
Gill
