In genaral, school year is from Feb to Dec. and most enrollments are 1 year in advance especially for transferees.
However education is a must in Australia, I think they will accommodate you and let your kid join school this year (saling pusa lang)... then by end of term Dec or start of term Feb, students will undergo assessments and then depends on their english competencies, may possibility na paulitin sila ng Junior High next year. (this is for public schools)
and your choice of public school will depend on your address (suburb), each suburb is allocated a school. Priority nila is to enroll students on within their suburbs, pag over quota na, then they will ask you to look for the next nearest school.
for private schools, pila pila po ang application lalo na yung mga popular schools.
