Junior Study

Junior study in Australia covers primary through to secondary school. There is no separate middle school: schooling is divided into Primary School (Year 1 to 6) and High School (Year 7 to 12), and both the curriculum and the way schools are run differ by state and by whether the school is public or private.

iWorld works as an official agent for Australian public and private schools, in close partnership with them. Every consultant on our junior study team is raising school-aged children of their own, so they advise families and handle applications with a parent's mindset.

01School selection & admission

As an official agent for state education departments and leading private schools, we recommend schools that fit your child and budget, and handle the admission process, from academic records to receiving the offer.

Junior study needs to be prepared and started earlier than most families expect. For sought-after schools, the process should begin at least a year ahead. The route also changes depending on whether a parent will accompany the child, and on whether the student or the parent is the main applicant.

02Guardians

Through our local office network we arrange homestays, accompany school interviews, and provide regular reports to parents.

Students under 18 need a legal guardian. A parent can take that role, and where no parent can accompany the child, a relative can. If there is no relative available, the school can approve welfare arrangements with a homestay or a boarding facility and issue a CAAW (Confirmation of Appropriate Accommodation and Welfare), which allows the student visa application to proceed.

03Preparing to accompany your child

For parents relocating with their child, we plan the guardian visa, housing, and daily-life setup together: a realistic stay plan matched to your child's school year and region.

When a parent accompanies their child, the guardian visa is only part of it. Housing, a car, and other settlement arrangements all need preparing. If you would like help with this, you can request the iWorld settlement service (charged separately).
