Studying in Victoria
Victorian government schools are a destination of choice for international students. Our schools provide international students with a high-quality education, (EAL) English as an additional language and caring welfare support services.
Depending on your circumstances some international students need to enrol in the department’s International Student Program (ISP) and pay fees, while other international students can be enrolled directly by schools and are exempt from paying fees.
