We want to help families across NSW find suburbs that not only they can afford but also has high quality education available for their children.

Choosing where to settle is extra important because NSW schools will typically guarantee enrolment if you live in the local catchment zone.

The Affordability Planner provides users with an interactive platform to assist families in planning future accommodation by providing insight on school availability and performance relative to their rental affordability.

Housing affordability and availability is a sensitive issue in NSW. The 'Education' data pilot can be the tip of the iceberg in assisting households to decipher the tough question of "Where is the best place that I can afford to live?"

Phase Two (future pilots) can focus on integrating more data points to enrich the quality of information for families to consider their future households needs.
