A dash means this year-level fee is unavailable; it does not mean the school is free. Tuition excludes other charges and is not a quote. Confirm the current schedule with the school. Do not compare fees from different years as like-for-like costs.
Compare published VIC school feesHow to find the best school in Melbourne for your child
A strong academic result is one part of a school decision. Shortlist schools that offer your child’s year level, then compare eligibility, daily travel, budget and the learning or support programs you can confirm with each school.
- For primary schools, use primary-year information. Senior secondary results at a combined school do not describe its primary teaching.
- For high schools, check the qualification, reporting year and metric. Different state certificates and historical averages are not directly interchangeable.
- Check school programs and support directly, then plan a visit. Directory descriptions do not confirm vacancies or suitability for your child.
Melbourne public school catchments
Check the exact home address and intended enrolment year. Being within 25 km of the city centre, or near a school, does not establish catchment eligibility. Catholic and independent schools have their own admission arrangements.
Explore life around your shortlist
Open each school profile for nearby activities and community places. These can help you plan after-school routines alongside the school decision.
