Emma2 Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Hi there Can anyone tell me what fees you have to pay at private schools in Queensland if you are on a 457 visa? Do you have to pay their international student fees or the Australian resident fees or something completely different?! Thanks Emma :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest brownfamily Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 Hi Emma, The state school fees on a temp visa were $8,000 per child per year a couple of years ago. Private schools vary from school to school....but are usually cheaper than $8,000 per year...it's just not very well known that you can go to a private school for less than you would pay state school fee's for on a temp visa :-) Hope this helps.

Emma2 Posted May 6, 2010 Author Share Posted May 6, 2010 Thanks Heather We are intending to send the kids to private school if possible and it seems like it won't actually cost us any more than the state schools if you only have to pay the regular private school fees and not the international. Thanks for your help Emma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lsbc1976 Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 i think it varies between schools. we are going to WA and i emailed the school and asked, turns out the fees are the same as for a permenant resident at our choice, ie not much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northernbird Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 457 visa holders only pay public school fees in NSW and ACT. No fees payable in any other state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
