Guest JRaj Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 My Wife and I are here on a 457 4 year working Visa. My daughter is almost 3. If she was to start state primary school, how much would it cost? We currently live in Sydney. We are thinking of moving to Brisbane, have they similiar costs? Another question..... If we are to apply for permanent residency, would we stil have to pay for our childs education in either NSW/QLD? Thanks Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calNgary Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Hiya we are in Brisbane and my daughter is 3 ,4 in September,as she is too young for school she attends abc kindy 4 days a week ,like the uk costs arent cheap but as im on a low income centrelink contribute to 94% of costs which makes it viable to work.My son who is 8 attends state primary ,other than the purchase of uniform and books (approx$230)we pay a fee at the beggining of term of $30 towards any other art or cookery materials,im impressed by the efficency of teachers and standards set by the school,it is definately worth the money,not sure about different states,fees may vary a little but i hope this gives you the general idea Cal x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckbuchanan Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Hi Can you just clarify please... do centrelink subsidise just the abc, or both the abc and primary school? I will have 2 kids in abc and 1 in primary school and someone has just told me I might have to pay school fees. I am coming over on a 137 visa.
