How do I complain about a school in Australia?

General information from Lawmateanz

Start with the teacher or principal, then follow the school's complaints policy.

For government schools, you can escalate to the state education department. For non-government schools, contact the school's governing body or sector authority.

State ombudsmen can review some government school complaints.

Keep records of meetings and correspondence.
