Legal Information

Education Act 2004
The Act recognises that all children have a right to receive a high quality education that provides a foundation for our democratic society. Home education is an option for parents in the ACT.

FAQs
Can my child attend school part time? Are there any fees or charges for home education? How much freedom do I have in conducting the home education? How will my privacy be respected? Does my child have access to benchmark testing? How do I cancel home education?

Registration
Should you decide to home educate your children you must apply for provisional registration for each child. Provisional registration lasts for six months and provides parents with the opportunity to commence a home education program. It is the precursor to registration.

Provisional Registration Application Form
Request commencement of provisional registration to be forwarded with certified copies of personal documents. [NOTE: when I checked on May 11, 2011, the link to the form required a login. The link to Contact was also broken, so I couldn't tell them about first broken link. So if anyone reads this and knows how to contact ACT, please let them know.]

ACTION concession travel
ACTION provides concession bus travel for home educated students that are registered with Department of Education and Training.

ACT Schools Sports Council
On presentation of the current home education certificate, home educated children are able to obtain affiliation with the ACT Primary Schools Sports Association or the ACT Secondary Schools Sports Association for a nominal annual fee. This entitles children to participate in a range of sporting events planned for ACT school children at the zone, region and ACT representative level.

National Assessment Program Literacy and Numeracy
Home educators are eligible to nominate their child every second year. As a guide, most children in year 3 have their 9th birthday, in year 5 their 11th birthday, in year 7 their 13th birthday and they turn 15 years of age in year 9. It is recognised that there are children younger and older than their age cohort in each educational level.
