Exciting News for Temporary Resident Families in NSW!

by Christine Le

Starting January 1, 2025, a new enrolment policy in NSW will make it easier for children of temporary resident visa holders to access education in their local schools.

Here's what's changing:?

1. Local Enrolment: All students on a temporary resident visa can now enrol in their local school based on their residential address, streamlining the process and reducing barriers to education.?
2. Enrolment Fee Waivers for Regional Families: Families residing outside Greater Sydney and Wollongong with Temporary Skills Shortage (TSS) visas (subclass 482) will see enrolment fees waived, making education more accessible for those in regional areas.?

This policy shift is a big step towards providing equitable access to education for temporary residents and their families. It represents an exciting opportunity for families on temporary resident visas to benefit from the diverse, high-quality education NSW public schools offer without additional financial stress.?
