amy g. Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I have a friend who is considering a job offer in Australia. They would be considered 457 temporary residents in SNW Sydney. My question is what homeschooling requirements apply to them as temporary residents? Would it be the same as are required for residents? Thanks!

abba12 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 I know what is required of residents, but I'm unsure how that would apply to those on visas.... A good place to ask this question, if you don't find an answer here, would be http://community.aussiehomeschool.com.au/- Plenty of people there more knowledgeable about the specifics of aussie homeschooling law. You could also make an enquiry to the New South Wales Board of Studies (any NSW residents, correct me if I'm wrong, that's the department for homeschooling in that state right? I'm in Queensland myself, we have a Department of Education here, it's just different names for the same thing right?) - There's a web address at http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/home-schooling/ and they seem to have an email address at homeschooling@bos.nsw.edu.au - there's also a phone number on the site if your friend is inclined to call and speak to someone directly, just check the timezones, mid to late evening your time is morning here. Hope you can find some answers quickly! Sorry I couldn't be more help 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sewingmama Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I'm pretty sure homeschooling rules only apply to those on permanent visas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amy g. Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 That is what I was thinking, but I wanted to be sure. Thanks, All! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
