A survey has found parents spend more to send their children to government-run schools than any other Australian capital city.
In 2017, Brisbane was the third most expensive city in the country, however it has now jumped to the number one, with parents spending around $75,600 over 13 years to send a child to school, with Sydney at $66,470 and Melbourne at $74,604.
Additionally, parents are having to buy other hidden school-related expenses such as uniforms, books and laptops.
