HOPE79 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Hi my query is in NSW it says that i dont have to pay for my childrens schooling if the step parent is australian is this true and is this the case with every state. Ideally i wanted to move to Perth but appears that i have to pay school fees, the same in queensland, it also says if on low income i can be exempt from the fee. Could anyone shed any light on this and what the rules are for each state, my children are at primary school age and secondary, my eldest wants to start an apprenticeship. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thankyou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quoll Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Should think it depends what you are bridging from. The bridging conditions usually apply to the original arrival visa. It's not very clear what you are actually asking here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally on an 820 you would not have school fees for State schools in Queensland, and I would be surprised if you have them in any other State either, but on a bridging visa it may be affected by the originally visa - if its a tourist visa for instance that could make a big difference.

HOPE79 Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 a 3 month tourist visa will be my orginal one. According to queensland if on bridging visa schooling is free. in NSW if a step parent is australian then schooling is free, other states it mentions if on bridging visa A you can get exemption.
