If you have a child under school-age, many private childcare centres care for children aged six weeks to school-age. If your child is four years old, you may be able to enrol them in kindergarten (or preschool) to help prepare them for starting school.

South Australian schools provide quality education and internationally recognised qualifications with pathways to tertiary education. You can send your child to a public school, independent or Catholic school. Learn more about schools in South Australia.

If you’re a South Australian endorsed scholarship holder studying in a South Australian university or tertiary education institution on a student visa (Subclass 500) , you may be eligible to receive a fee waiver for your child to study in a South Australian government school of your choice (subject to zoning and capacity). Learn more about the fee waivers available.
