Legal Information

GENERAL

A Personal View on Programming
There is no explicit requirement that a programme be written. I encourage people to programme only when and where it helps them to formulate their ideas and to implement their plans.

Programming Examples
Home educators are finding that preparing an education programme for their child is a helpful way of documenting their ideas and are using this to demonstrate their educational plans to government officials. By Janelle Hardy, HEA.

Legal Requirements and Registration in NSW
This article deals broadly with legal requirements in NSW and the registration process. Author: Janelle Hardy, HEA.

NORTHERN TERRITORY

Legal Requirements and Registration in NT
Parents who wish to home educate children of compulsory school age must ensure that, prior to home education commencing, approval is received through DET.

Why Teach in the Territory
The site the NT government does not want you to see. Dr Robert E. Bartholomew and his wife are former homeschoolers in Australia who became Outback teachers. They launched this website attacking the Northern Territory Education Department as corrupt.

SOUTH AUSTRALIA

South Australia Education Code For Homeschooling
In South Australia, parents may choose to educate their child(ren) at home rather than accessing a school based education program.

TASMANIA

Tasmanian Compulsory enrolment & attendance
Home education is a legally supported alternative to enrolment at a school, provided that the parent is registered as a home educator in respect of that child. This means that the parent meets the requirements for undertaking home education, as described in the policy statement on home education.

Publications

Australia.edu
An online education magazine with downloadable stories for children and loads of tips for educating your kids.

Well, we think we have the solution.
