Guest robnnic Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Hi, If you go for a 176 visa, do you have to pay for your children's education or is this just for the temp working visa? Nic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest siamsusie Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Hi Nic, I cant answer your questions for you but will move this over to the Education thread. Best wishes Susie x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebrol Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 I'm not sure if you have to pay on a 176 but it will depend on which state you live in. I think you only have to pay in NSW or ACT. Check out the dept of Education for the state you are going to live in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quoll Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 176 is a permanent visa so you wont have to pay the education fees that are levied on temporary residents and international students. However, pretty much all schools will invite you to pay a "voluntary" contribution of around $100 a term. Technically it is voluntary but morally it tends to be compulsory. If you go to a private school however then fees are set by the school and can be anywhere between $3k and $30k pa depending on the school and its status Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
