Victorian parents are paying the highest median private school fees in Australia, with a price tag this year across all high- and low-fee non-government schools of $14,140.

Just 6 per cent of Australian independent and Catholic schools surveyed in the national report have opted to keep their fees on ice this year. The figures are drawn from Edstart’s 2022 school fees report, which is based on analysis of tuition, boarding and compulsory fee costs at 538 Australian independent and Catholic schools, including 135 Victorian schools.

He said this was particularly the case when extracurricular activities such as weekend sports, camps, music and drama were unavailable. Some also received millions of dollars in federal JobKeeper subsidies, before later posting surpluses.
