Home Education has always been legal in Victoria but the legal situation changed in 2007 when the The Education and Training Reform Act came into effect on 1st July.

Under its terms home educators are required to register with the Victorian Registration and Qualifications Authority (VRQA). The VRQA website contains information on registration together with an application form and support materials or you can contact them on 9637 3386 to have a set sent out to you. We also have a copy available on this website vrqa-registration-form.pdf or you can request one by post by contacting HEN via Sue at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
