NT government schools are largely open-enrolment. A small number of schools in Darwin and Palmerston have priority-enrolment areas; remote schools serve their local community.

enrolment notes

NT enrolment is based on residency and choice rather than rigid catchment polygons.

catchment data and policies change — always confirm enrolment eligibility directly with the school. Northern Territorynon-government (catholic, independent) schools accept enrolments from anywhere and aren't catchment-restricted.
