JulesRosie Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 We're moving to Melbourne in September. I've looked online and have conflicting answers. Are the school fees capped at a maximum of 5,200 aus dollars per annum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quoll Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 School fees range from $4kpa to $10kpa depending on the state but I’ve not seen any indication that Victoria will be starting to charge for temporary visa holders. International students and their dependents do pay, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in U.K. but it’s well known which states charged for 457 visas and the 482 is the new equivalent. Victoria might well decide to charge at some point. If they did, how much they’d charge and whether there’d be a cap is very much up to them. Education is a state issue. If you budgeted around $5k per kid you’d probably be in the ball park. As it is though, if you budgeted around $10 per week for school stuff (which everyone pays - visits, special teachers, additional programs, performances, voluntary contributions, stationery packs etc excluding lunches and uniforms) - say $400 pa you’d probably end up about even.
