- Most suburbs in Canberra have schools and they should all be walking distance from where you live; this is how small and well planned Canberra is
- To be exempt from fees at a public school, you need to present your standard AusAID letter from your AusAID liaison Officer stating that you are an AusAID student.
- Other school requirements will be provided to you by the school.
Note: Pre-schools are great learning opportunities for your younger kids. Children can attend pre-schools from the age of four.
Immunisation Records
For school and childcare purposes, you need to bring with you to Canberra your child’s updated immunisation records (from Vanuatu). Immunisation costs are covered by OHSC and are offered by the ANU Health Clinic. Produce your existing records to the Doctor and they will let you know of what immunisations your child still needs to take to meet standard Australian immunisation requirements.
