Residential Address Check
Residential address check
For the enrolment of students in Victorian government schools
When seeking to enrol your child in a Victorian government school, you may be requested to provide supporting documentation. This documentation will assist schools in verifying your permanent residence.
Key enrolment information
Your child is guaranteed a place at their school designated neighbourhood school. You can find your designated neighbourhood school and school zone at www.findmyschool.vic.gov.au
You can apply for a place at a school that is not your designated neighbourhood school and should be enrolled if the school has enough space.
Establishing a child’s permanent residence
Your child’s permanent residence is the address at which they permanently reside at the time of enrolment. If your child resides at multiple addresses, their permanent residence is the address at which they spend the majority of their weekdays.
Documents provided as per the 100-point residential address table should match the details recorded on the school enrolment application, including parent’s/carer’s name and address.
Why does the school need to verify my address for enrolment?
Some schools in Victoria are facing enrolment pressure. To ensure every child can attend their local school, schools may request proof of address to verify that you live within their school zone. This helps to keep our education system fair and equitable and ensures that children who live within the school zone are being prioritised for enrolment.
