About my responsibilities as the educator of my child
Yes. If you choose to home educate in Queensland you are required to register your child through the Home Education Unit.
You may have purchased materials and programs from suppliers, in Queensland, from other states or other countries, who indicate that if you 'register' with them then you do not need to register through the Home Education Unit as well. This is incorrect information. Please contact the Home Education Unit if you have any doubts or questions.

Yes. It is your right to home educate your child provided you have applied for and successfully registered your child.
No. Your child's education will be based at their usual place of residence but there are many learning opportunities in the wider community which you would incorporate in your child's program.
Yes. Just as it is your right to choose home education for your child, it is your responsibility to assess and report on your child's progress. This report is processed by education advisors at the Home Education Unit and feedback about the report helps you to form your child's revised program for the following year. The plan, teach, learn, report, and plan cycle is important for your child's educational progress.
A report is provided to the Unit in the tenth month of your child's registration. For example, if your child's initial registration date was 15 December 2006, then your first report would be due to the Unit between the 15 October and the 15 November 2007.
