When you can get education assistance
If your child turns 18 before they finish secondary school, you’ll keep getting education assistance until they finish school.
Education assistance in your posting location
Example
Your posting location has 14 weeks of school holidays a year.
You can claim the costs of a holiday program for 2 weeks (14–12).
Education assistance in Australia
If your child remains in Australia with their other parent, their education assistance won't change.
If your child was in boarding school before your long-term posting overseas, there may be a limit on the accommodation costs you can claim.
