How can I Homeschool in Australia?

  • Where do I start?
  • How do I register?
  • Can I actually do this?

Homeschool is legal in every state/territory in Australia. In general, the requirements are:

  1. The parent who will provide the education:
    • Submits an application to their state/territory Homeschool office
    • Submits a plan outlining the education to be provided
  2. Children between the ages of 5.6-17 must be registered (this age varies slightly between states)
  3. In some states, there is a meeting between the parent and a representative of the registration body
  4. In most states/territories, there is a periodic review of your child’s progress and ongoing plans
  5. In some states you are required to report on your child's progress

Homeschool registration can feel overwhelming at first, but you don't have to work it out on your own.
