Starting January 1, 2025, a new enrollment policy in NSW will make it easier for children of temporary resident visa holders to access education in their local schools.
Key Changes
- Local Enrollment: All students on a temporary resident visa can now enroll in their local school based on their residential address, streamlining the process and reducing barriers to education.
- Enrollment Fee Waivers for Regional Families: Families residing outside Greater Sydney and Wollongong with Temporary Skills Shortage (TSS) visas (subclass 482) will see enrollment fees waived, making education more accessible for those in regional areas.
