The Canberra Liberals have based their plan for an autism-specific
school on a Queensland model that charges families fees in excess of
$20,000 a year.
But the opposition, whose proposal was endorsed yesterday by former
Canberra Raiders rugby league champion Ricky Stuart, said that they will
be able to keep fees for their school lower than the $23,000 per year
charged in Queensland.
The amount families pay for the Queensland schools, operated by the
not-for-profit AEIOU Foundation, is higher than the fees charged at
Canberra Grammar School.
