South Australia introduces school fee for 457 visa holders

[Spirax]

The government has introduced a contribution fee for families on 457 visas whose children attend government schools. The fee applies to families arriving from 1 January 2017 and extends to all 457 visa holders in 2018, regardless of date of arrival in Australia.

Hi,

Any idea if families on 489 visas are eligible to pay local school fees? 

or is it same as 457 visas?

 

Thank you
