Registration
What is the registration process?
How do you commence home education?
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.
The manual, Registration of Home Education in the ACT 
(336kb) outlines parents' responsibilities in relation to home education under the Act.
Provisional registration
Provisional registration, of up to six months, enables home educators to:
- develop a home education approach that suits the needs of their child;
- ensure the home education is of a high quality; and
- determine how educational progress will be recorded.
