Welcome ...

Welcome to the website of the Home Education Association Inc., Australia.

Home education, or homeschooling, is a legal alternative to school education in all Australian states. As the name suggests, it involves a parent taking direct responsibility for the education of their children at home.

The HEA was formed in April 2001 to promote the practice of homeschooling in Australia and to provide members with benefits which would be difficult to obtain by individuals or smaller groups.

Becoming a member of the Association is a way in which you can support this Australia-wide initiative to promote the practice of home education.

If you would like to find out more about us, the objects of the Association and the benefits of membership are dealt with in detail on the About Us page.
