Yes, you can hire someone to assist your son with school or other needs while he studies in Australia. Many families use tutors, caregivers, or personal assistants for educational and daily support.

Key points to consider:
- Employment laws apply to all workers, including nannies and tutors, so you must follow local regulations.
- Visa and work rights: Anyone you hire must have the correct visa and legal right to work in Australia.
- NDIS support: If your son has a disability, some support services may be funded, but general tutoring usually is not.
- Some schools allow external providers for on-site support, but you should check with the school about their specific policies.
