Temporary residents must hold a valid visa and meet the General conditions of enrolment to enrol in a NSW Government school. For enrolment conditions of each visa subclass, refer to the Visa subclasses and enrolment conditions fact sheet. The Temporary Residents Program enrols school-aged children who are: temporary resident visa holders accompanied by their parent (except principal holders of the international student visa subclass 500P), bridging visa holders accompanied by their parent dependants of international students accompanied by their parent, visitor visa holders accompanied by a parent or staying with a direct relative (brother, sister, step-parent, step-brother, step-sister, grandparent, aunt, uncle, niece, nephew, step-grandparent, step-aunt, step-uncle, step-niece, step-nephew). The direct relative must be over 21 years of age, of good character, and able to provide appropriate care and supervision of the child. Children cannot enrol through the Temporary Residents Program if they are international students holding visa subclass 500P, part of a group of students who attend NSW schools on an advertised tour, or a visitor visa holder who is not accompanied by a parent, or not staying with a direct relative.
