Hi Florianenic,

Each individual state sets the fees for public schools in Australia. So you will need to contact the education provider - I am sure the school will be able to advice.

What type of visa will you be on ? If it is a 457 visa, then government-sponsored schools will be free. Either way, fees will certainly be cheaper than a private or international school. You will however need to account for the cost of uniforms. school trips and equipment.

For more information read the Education and Schools in Melbourne page.
