Map / School zones

Melbourne school zones

Victorian government schools take enrolments from a defined area — the zone. We draw all 233 of inner Melbourne's on the isometric map, over the actual buildings, so you can see exactly where a boundary runs down a street rather than guessing from a PDF.

Check a specific address

A catchment boundary can run between two neighbours, so the only answer that means anything is the one for your address. Ours reports every zone a property falls in — most fall in three.

Before you enrol or sign anything: these boundaries come from the published Victorian School Zones layer and are indicative. Zones are redrawn, and the department's Find My School is the only authoritative source. Check there before making a decision that depends on it.

How school zones work in Melbourne

Every address sits in a primary school zone and, separately, in a secondary one — and where a college runs junior and senior campuses, those can differ too, which is why more than one school can be “your” school at once. Boundaries follow enrolment planning rather than suburb lines, so a house is regularly zoned to a school in the next suburb while the school at the end of the street takes a different area. Living in the zone guarantees a place; living outside it does not rule enrolment out, but the school takes in-zone students first.
