Common fears

The three worries — answered plainly.

01
Legality

Is it legal?

Yes — in every state and territory. You register (or in SA, gain an attendance exemption) with your state authority, then teach your child at home. That's it.

02
Confidence

Am I qualified enough?

Each state's standard is about your child's learning program — the plan you follow — not about you holding a teaching degree. If you can love and guide your child, you can begin.

03
Process

What about the paperwork?

There's a clear, finite checklist for each state — usually a birth certificate, a simple learning plan, and one form. We lay out yours step by step, with the real documents and dates.

"These words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children."
