Australia: Education

Parenting orders under the Family Law Act 1975 (Cth) (“the Act”) determine post separation living arrangements for a child, allocation of parental responsibility, and may include orders about education, such as which school a child/ren should attend. Courts have emphasised that parents must take positive action to ensure children spend time with or live with each parent in accordance with parenting orders.

The Accord Final Report creates a blueprint for higher education planning out to 2050.

Schools and their teachers are required to exercise their duty of care responsibilities away from the school grounds.
