What happened
An education policy expert noted that parents attending Victoria’s high-fee schools could face thousands of dollars in increased costs next year. These independent and Catholic schools are justifying the fee hikes by citing payroll tax and teacher wages. The expert described the trend as unsustainable, noting that some private schools are locked into uncapped annual fee increases.

Why it matters
The trend of significant fee increases in private education raises consumer costs for families. For example, Ivanhoe Girls’ Grammar School raised its fees by 15.1 per cent for years 11 and 12 next year, which was the largest increase among schools analyzed.
