With the January 2026 semester approaching, application deadlines for public schools across Australian states are entering countdown phases. To avoid missing critical deadlines, parents must prepare early and submit materials promptly! Below is a streamlined overview of the latest application cut-offs:
Victoria (VIC) closes applications on September 19, 2025; parents are advised to complete submissions by September 15 to prevent delays from incomplete documentation. Queensland (QLD) has early deadlines for two categories: students applying for 2026 Term 1 HSP + main course and those not requiring homestay arrangements must submit by September 19, 2025. New South Wales (NSW) deadlines fall on October 12, 2025, with a recommended submission window before September 22. South Australia (SA) accepts applications until October 29, 2025, but early completion by October 20 is advised. Tasmania (TAS) and Western Australia (WA) operate on a first-come, first-served basis with no fixed deadlines—applications close once spots are filled.
Key Reminders: All applications require state education department reviews, and processing times vary. Early submission ensures ample processing time. Popular schools may close enrollments prematurely due to high demand. Parents should prepare transcripts, passports, and language test results (if applicable) in advance for swift submission.
