Registering a child for home education
You can register your child for home education in Queensland if:
- they are between 5-and-a-half and 18 years old (by 31 December)
- they are not enrolled at a state or non-state school
- you are their parent or legal guardian living in Queensland.
As a home educator, you'll use your knowledge of your child's educational needs and interests to design and deliver a high-quality education program that supports your child to make educational progress at home. You may develop this program yourself or you can work with a registered teacher. While choosing home education can be a big decision, our role is to support you to meet the requirements.
