Why is Tasmania a good choice for my child?
When you choose Tasmania, you’re giving your child a high-quality learning experience that's recognised all over the world.
From schools and universities to English programs, they’ll be supported by teachers who are genuinely committed to their success.
Our schools and universities go the extra mile to set your child up for success, offering everything from internships and scholarships to helpful pathway programs. Plus, with smaller class sizes, they’ll get plenty of one-on-one time with their teachers to ensure they truly thrive in their studies.
Can I move to Tasmania with my child?
If your child is under 18, you (or another suitable adult) may be able to come to Tasmania to support them during their studies.
To be eligible, the accompanying adult should:
- be a parent, legal guardian or relative aged 21 or older
- have enough funds to support both themselves and the student while living in Tasmania
- be able to provide appropriate accommodation, care and general support
The accompanying adult will need to apply for a Student Guardian visa.
As a Student Guardian, you’ll be expected to:
- live with the student for the duration of their stay
- not work while in Australia
- meet the Department of Home Affairs requirements as a genuine temporary entrant
For students under 18, it’s important to keep the Department of Home Affairs updated if there are any changes to welfare arrangements. You can do this by submitting an update through the Change in situation page.
