Coming to Australia as a student with kids? Or do you want to enroll in a local secondary school before applying to a university?
If you come to Australia as an international student with kids, you will need to pay for their school regardless of whether it’s a private or public school. If you study in an Australian secondary school before proceeding to a university, you will also need to cover tuition fees.
However, some territories offer a tuition fee waiver for the kids of international students. Read more on the Study in Australia website.
