Best Back to School Sales in Australia (2025)

As a busy parent, I find it is SO MUCH easier to browse the Back to School sales from the comfort of my own home, rather than trying to navigate the crowds at the shops. 

Back-to-school online sales are a great opportunity to take advantage of discounts on purchases that are required for the school year ahead – hello school shoes, name labels and stationery!

Here are some of the best Back to School online deals that I’ve found and they’re mostly Australian brands and businesses.

I also recommend signing up to ShopBack and Cashrewards to get cashback on your purchases – that’s money straight into your account (I get referral credit too). Win-win!
