The statewide enrolment timeline provides Victorian government primary schools with clear timeframes for enrolling students who will commence Prep in the 2026 school year. Schools can receive enrolment applications from parents and carers from the start of Term 2, 2025.

This will be the third time that schools will use a statewide timeline for enrolments into the Prep year. The timeline seeks to support schools and families by making the Prep enrolment process simpler, clearer and fairer.

The timeline includes key dates, activity descriptions and an overview of responsibilities to help schools to plan for their Prep enrolments. Key dates and activities for schools in the 2025–26 timeline include the following:

  • Schools can receive enrolment applications from parents and carers from the start of Term 2, 2025. This follows the release of 2026 zones on the department’s Find my School website and the publication of Foundation enrolment information packs.
  • Enrolment applications from parents and carers are to be submitted by Friday 25 July 2025.
  • Schools notify parents and carers of the outcome of enrolment applications between Monday 28 July and Friday 8 August 2025.
  • Written appeals from parents and carers are to be lodged with schools by Friday 22 August 2025.
  • Schools notify parents and carers in writing of the outcome of appeals by Friday 5 September 2025.
