Guest colsha7 Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 Hi all, I am so glad that we have PIO.......questions, questions, questions....... Hubby has been offered a job (121) in Perth, I believe with this we will have no expensive school fees (son 13, daughter 15)?????? Also under consideration is ACT (457) anyone help with the school fees????? We have been told by a nursing relocation agency that there are no school fees in ACT. Is this right????? Only considering ACT as it will get us there quicker, less expensive....well until we do the PR after 6 months. and the relocation is excellent....however....if the school fees are really high then it will be Perth for us........I would rather go to Perth anyway;) Any help would be GREATLY appreciated... Thanks in advance. Sharon.xxxx
Guest tandcmum Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 i was under the inpression that on a 457 visa school fees were payable in boith ACT and NSW but i might be wrong
Guest colsha7 Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 yeah i read that here two...but we have been assured by a nurse recruitment agency in aus. that no school fees in ACT........................
Guest tandcmum Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 just looked on the ACT education website and it appears you do have to pay, but if your occupation is on the MODL (which nursing is) then you can get the fees waivered, however it says this is currently under review, couldn't find a date for that document tho
Quoll Posted May 10, 2011 Posted May 10, 2011 Have replied in another thread - you do need to contact International Students and ask them because I doubt you will be wanting to fork out $10k pa per child for the privilege of an ACT education! I am pretty sure you will be OK though but you never can tell with ACTDET!!!!
