Hi Hiral,

If you have permanent residency in Australia then your children are allowed to go to public schools in Australia for free. However, you will still be expected to pay 'voluntary contributions' which vary from one school to the next.

To learn more check out the Education and Schools in Australia page.

Hi Hiral, I am not sure if you are already in Australia.As an immigrant most public schools would admit your child in their school. Fees are very nominal. Let me know if you need help with finding job for yourself or your wife. There are some fully funded (free) courses by Australian Govt. for co-applicants which I can get you or your wife enrolled in. These courses will make you quickly employable in Australia. I professionally help immigrants to quickly survive, sustain, and thrive in Australia. I have been interviewed by Expat Arrivals in the past and you can find my interview by searching my full name Rajiv Bedse in the search window of this website.
