This was last year, but rules are probably still the same, hope that helps.
I have found reading their (brown family) posts very helpful and inspiring as they are so positive & they are really making it work for themselves.
Anyway good luck with it

Hi,
Thanks for the positive feedback!!
You might want to check that it is the same process in each state as we are in Queensland and I know that the school fees etc are different depending on which state you go to.
Having said that you were right, for Queensland we paid appx $100 'as school unspecified' and you get appx a month to choose a school and have that money refunded.
Hope this helps.

PS. We are still loving life in Oz. Had a great weekend:
Friday (kids off and I am off for two weeks as I work in a private school) and spent the day at Currimundi Lake
Saturday had a BBQ for a friends birthday
Sunday went to Mapleton Falls in morning and the beach in the afternoon
Monday went to Seaworld (special offer over here for residents its half price!!!)
There are also hard times when you miss family etc etc so I don't want it to sound like it is a breeze, but we do love it :-)
