  For NSW, primary and secondary education is free for 491. This link will help:

  Different states have different rules. Even school calendars differs from one state to another. Need to take note mo lang is meron silang school catchment, meaning you will need to enrol your children within the 1km radius. If you check rental websites like domain.com, nakalist doon ano yung local catchment school. Then you can start to contact the school to ask for information.
