Registration and Reporting for Homeschooling in Tasmania

There are mandatory homeschooling registration and reporting requirements for the Tasmanian Government.

While Euka provides a Government Registration and Reporting Service, the Euka learning plans we generate can’t be submitted as part of the Home Education Summary and Program (HESP). You can use the Euka learning plans to gain insights into the topics that will be covered in various subject areas. You might also like to use the learning plans to see how we adjust the program for your child’s learning style. 

However it’s important that you take the information we provide and use it to create your own HESP as the Office of the Education Registrar in Tasmania relies on parents using their own personal research and reflection.

We offer a curriculum for every stage of learning – kindergarten, primary, secondary, and senior. The first step in enrolling is simply selecting your child’s grade level.

Step 5 – Unenroll from school

Reporting and re-registering

The Tasmanian Government’s Office of the Education Registrar requires an evaluation of your Home Education Summary and Program (HESP) if you’d like to re-register your child for another year.

In the evaluation, OER are looking for how the program worked over the last year. Such questions to ask are:

  • Was it as good as or better than you expected? In what way?
  • Are there any areas that did not work as well as you had hoped? Why did they not work?
  • In the light of the above, is there anything you will be changing?

Together with the evaluation, the OER will review your re-written HESP for the next year. 

The Tasmanian Office of the Education Registrar has more information about reporting.

Why families love Euka

We have been with Euka for over 3 years now and have never looked back. Euka helps make the end of year reporting so streamlined. We purchase the government report creator and the registration as an add in purchase and are ecstatic with how professional, clear, content rich and comprehensive the end of year reports are.

Jacqui

As a working parent with young children, I initially felt overwhelmed by starting the homeschooling journey with my seven year old son. By purchasing the registration and reporting service in addition to the one year enrolment, time and worry was minimised. We were approved for homeschooling registration with no problems.

Johanna

We’ve had a great experience with Euka. Our kids love the program – it’s well-organised, easy to follow, and the instructions are clear and engaging. One of the biggest highlights has been the outstanding customer service. Their support made navigating the government requirements so much less stressful.

Erika

I have 2 children in home education and Euka makes it seamless, from the registration process to delivering lessons and mandatory reporting on your child’s progress. There is always a real person to speak to. Emails are answered promptly, problems/concerns addressed and requests attended to quickly.
