<p>International students' school-age children who come to Western Australia must attend school while residing in Western Australia and must be enrolled in either a government (public) or non-government (private) school. It is important that you are aware of the conditions regarding dependant schooling before you arrive in Australia.</p> <p>Both public and private schools require payment of fees. Fees and access to the schooling system vary, depending on your level of study (undergraduate or postgraduate) and visa class.</p> <p>Please see the information below and important links to ensure you are well informed on the processes for visa, placement in schools, the school fees and the forms and documentation required to enrol your child in school.</p> <h2>General information</h2> <p>The Western Australian Government agency TAFE International WA (TIWA) is responsible for placing international students' children in government schools. </p> <p>The <a href="https://www.tafeinternational.wa.edu.au/wa-government-schools/children-who-are-dependants-visa-holders#not-573-574" target="_self">TIWA </a><a href="https://www.tafeinternational.wa.edu.au/wa-government-schools/children-who-are-dependants-visa-holders#not-573-574" target="_self"></a><a href="https://www.tafeinternational.wa.edu.au/wa-government-schools/children-who-are-dependants-visa-holders#not-573-574" target="_self">website</a> provides information about the educational and school structure, school fees, and charges in Western Australia. It is important that you read through the information below and on the <a href="https://www.tafeinternational.wa.edu.au/wa-government-schools/children-who-are-dependants-visa-holders#not-573-574" target="_self" style="background-color: #fefefe;">TIWA </a><a href="https://www.tafeinternational.wa.edu.au/wa-government-schools/children-who-are-dependants-visa-holders#not-573-574" target="_self" style="background-color: #fefefe;"></a><a href="https://www.tafeinternational.wa.edu.au/wa-government-schools/children-who-are-dependants-visa-holders#not-573-574" target="_self" style="background-color: #fefefe;">website</a> so you are aware of the conditions for dependant schooling in WA before you arrive in Australia. </p> <p>TIWA school placement rules vary depending on visa categories because of Western Australian law and government policy. It is important you know your visa class to determine your child's access to the public school system.</p> <p>TIWA endeavour to place children in a school with spare capacity, and as close as possible to where they’re living. However, there is a high demand for places in public schools in WA and it may not be possible to place your dependants in schools closest to your home. Also, in some locations it is hard to place your child close by.</p> <p>It is important to consider your travel to university and your child’s travel to school. Your child may need to travel on public transport if you do not have independent transportation.</p> <p>A change of school request will only be considered in <strong>exceptional circumstances</strong>. </p> </div> </div></div><div class="module-wrapper clearfix no-padding-top"><div class="module-container normal"> <section class="accordion-module"> <h2 class="module-title"></h2> <div class="module-sub-title"></div> <dl class="accordion-masterbrand" data-sitecore-js-scope="accordion-component" data-multiple="true"> <dt class="accordion-masterbrand__title" data-sitecore-js-element="accordion-header" data-sitecore-js-trigger="accordion-component" data-event-track="click-toggle-accordion" data-event-purpose="open"> English language requirements <span class="accordion-masterbrand__arrow"></span> </dt> <dd class="accordion-masterbrand__content rich-text-content" data-sitecore-js-target="accordion-component"> <p>UWA highly recommends that you commence your child's English language development prior to arrival in Australia. </p> <p>If your child cannot speak English sufficiently well the school can require that they attend an intensive English Language course.
