Out-of-catchment enrolments
You can apply for enrolment at a state school outside of your catchment area, but enrolment is not guaranteed and you will be placed on a waiting list.
Applications are processed and assessed in the order they are received.
A state school's ability to accept students who live outside its catchment area depends on whether the school:
- has capacity once all in-catchment enrolments are met
- needs to allow for students relocating into their catchment area during the year
- can ensure an even spread of students across all year levels while maintaining class size targets
- can ensure their out-of-catchment enrolments do not reduce their capacity to meet in-catchment enrolments.
Find your local school using the EdMap website—you can either search using your home address or enter a school's name to see if your home is within its catchment area.
