ABSTUDY, Student Status: Chapter 30 - Exclusion from Local Schooling

Circumstances may arise where a student has been excluded from all local schooling and may be required to move away from home to find a suitable boarding school.


Government school/s that offers tuition at the student’s level may be disregarded for the purposes of assessing reasonable access to an appropriate education institution for a secondary school student if:

  • the student has been excluded by school authorities from all available government schools to which the student has reasonable daily access; and
  • distance education/correspondence studies are not appropriate.
