Temporary Residents Admissions

The Temporary Residents Admissions Centre (TRAC) helps families with temporary resident visas to enrol in Queensland state schools. We provide assistance to:

• dependants of international students
• bridging visa holders
• tourist visa holders.
  

Eligibility

Queensland Government schools have an Enrolment Management Plan that explains requirements for student enrolments.
This means students may not be eligible to enrol at the school unless they live within the local area or meet other criteria in the Plan.

English as an Additional Language (EAL/D) Support 

Dependant children are not entitled to enrol at designated migrant reception centres unless referred by a local school. Access to in-school or in-class support from EAL/D staff is determined by the school. If EAL/D support is required the school will make arrangements for the delivery of this service. EAL/D support is included in the tuition fee. 

Accommodation 

Homestay accommodation is not available to students holding a Tourist Visa. All dependant/bridging visa students must reside with and be under the care of a parent/legal custodian for the duration of their enrolment.
