Thank you for your interest in enrolling a student in an ACT public school. If you are a temporary resident please contact the International Education Unit before commencing this form. This application form can be saved at any stage. You should make a note of/write down the Reference Code in the orange box at the top right of this form, as it is required to re-open your saved application. Due to the amount of information required, some users find it easier to complete this form on a computer rather than a smartphone or other small device. Once an application has been submitted, it cannot be returned to or altered. If you wish to change or update any details, you will need to submit another application for enrolment. Each student can have only one active enrolment application at any time. Any new application submitted for the same student will override all earlier applications.

If you apply to a school or schools other than your priority enrolment area school, you should be aware that the Directorate is unable to guarantee you will be offered a place at those schools. Where your preferred school/s are unable to offer a place, you will receive an offer of a place at your priority enrolment area school.
