The island of Tasmania is the southern-most state in Australia, which offers all the benefits of living in Australia - a welcoming, modern multi-ethnic society, combined with excellence in education and training - in an intimate and relaxed environment. Our education system maintains the same national standards as every other Australian state and territory, with its own advantages. By choosing to study in a Tasmanian Government school, you are choosing a secure education provider and going straight into classes delivered in English with Australian students.

On this website, you’ll find plenty of information on each level of education, along with plenty of reasons why “Tassie” is a great choice. For example:

• Both our high schools and VET systems provide pathways to university, with generous articulation from the Tasmanian Polytechnic to the University of Tasmania.
• Tasmania has lower concentrations of international students than on the Australian mainland, so you will get more opportunities to practice speaking English, along with more attention and student support.
• The Tasmanian Government’s home stay program is run by the Tasmanian Government to very high standards. All home stay families must undergo a police check and are monitored continuously.
• Our international students are provided with rigorous consumer protection, under the Education Services for Overseas Students (ESOS) Act 2000. This requires education providers to meet stringent standards for marketing, education delivery, facilities and support services.
• Anyone who is interested in outdoor adventure like camping, surfing or bushwalking will love Tasmania’s unique wilderness.
• Tasmania’s clean, green island lifestyle offers a high standard of living and a low cost of living.
• Tasmania is just different!
