Apply-ED helps parents create structured, curriculum-aligned home education programs for registration applications. We take your intake responses - about your child's year level, learning goals, strengths and interests - and build a complete, submission-ready program document tailored specifically to your child.
We take the complexity out of working out what to include, how to organise it, and how to present it, so you don’t have to start from a blank page or guess what’s expected.
No.
Apply-ED does not create day-to-day lesson plans, daily activities, or a teaching timetable. Instead, the program produced is a planning and overview document. It outlines learning intentions, broad activities, resources, and ways to monitor progress across study blocks, while leaving daily teaching decisions flexible and in the hands of the parent or carer.
No.
Apply-ED does not submit applications on behalf of families. You receive the completed program document, ready to attach to the application that you submit yourself.
No.
Parents/carers remain fully responsible for planning, delivering, and overseeing their child’s learning. Apply-ED supports parents and carers by organising their educational intentions into a clear, compliant program, reducing the time and stress involved in writing it from scratch.
Apply-ED is designed for Australian families applying for or renewing their home education registration. We support families at every stage of their homeschooling journey—especially beginners—by helping them create a structured program without needing any formal teaching or curriculum writing experience. From Foundation Year to Year 10, our platform adapts to your family's unique style, with a program built around your child's year level, goals, interests and learning context.
Apply-ED supports families across all Australian states and territories.
Each program is aligned to the Australian Curriculum (ACARA) and tailored to meet the specific registration requirements of your state's home education authority. During the intake process, you select your state and we build your program to reflect what your registration body expects to see.
Apply-ED supports all year levels from Foundation Year (Prep/Kindergarten) through to Year 10. Each program is built to match your child's specific working year level, not just their age or enrolled year.
Yes - you can choose.
If your program begins mid-year, you may either:
We’ll ask you this during the intake process so your program reflects your preference and aligns with your state’s registration expectations.
Both options are valid. The choice simply determines how progression is structured across your Study Blocks.
Every Apply-ED program is individually built around your child. During the intake, you tell us about their year level, learning goals, strengths, interests and any supports that matter to your family. We use that information to create a structured, curriculum-aligned program that reflects how your child actually learns — not a generic template.
The result is a program grounded in your states curriculum that also incorporates your child's personal goals, interests and learning preferences throughout.
Yes.
You can submit an intake for multiple children in a single order. Each child receives their own individual program, built specifically for them - their year level, learning approach, goals and context.
Pricing for additional children is reduced. You'll see the full breakdown on our Pricing page and at checkout.
The intake includes space to describe your child's learning preferences, strengths and any supports that are important to your family. This information shapes how the program is written — the language, the teaching strategies, the resources suggested and how monitoring is framed.
We write programs in plain, strengths-based language appropriate for home education registration. We do not make medical assessments or recommendations.
Yes.
All Apply-ED programs are aligned to the Australian Curriculum (ACARA). Each program includes ACARA content description codes anchoring the learning focus of every study block — providing clear, verifiable evidence of curriculum alignment for your state's home education authority.
Learning areas are the broad subject areas that make up a home education program - for example, English, Mathematics, Science, Humanities and Social Sciences, and Health and Physical Education. Registration bodies require that home education programs address the key learning areas relevant to your child's year level.
Your Apply-ED program organises content around these learning areas, showing what will be taught, how and with what resources.
The learning areas included depend on your child's year level and your family's approach. You select which areas to include during the intake. Available learning areas include:
A Study Block is a structured period of learning within your home education program. Each program includes 4 Study Blocks, with each block covering approximately 8 weeks of learning.
Together, the 4 Study Blocks form your full registration year plan. They loosely align with school terms, while allowing flexibility if your program begins mid-year.
Study Blocks group your learning intentions, activities and resources into manageable sections across the year - showing that learning is planned and progressive without prescribing daily schedules.
Each selected learning area includes:
Each Study Block outlines:
No timetables, grades, or exams are included.
A Weekly Learning Plan outlines how learning will be implemented in practice during a specific week within a Study Block.
It details:
In NSW particularly, registration authorities expect evidence that learning is planned at a practical, operational level — not just described at a yearly overview level.
The Weekly Learning Plan demonstrates how your broader Study Block goals translate into structured, observable learning across the week.
It does not prescribe rigid daily scheduling, but it shows that learning is intentional, progressive and aligned to curriculum expectations.
No.
Apply-ED programs are structured with four Study Blocks per learning area. This ensures your program meets documentation and registration expectations while remaining clear and manageable.
In practice, you can adapt pacing or combine learning experiences as needed. However, the program document itself always includes four Study Blocks to form your full registration year plan.
No.
Study Blocks are not directly tied to school terms and do not dictate how learning must be scheduled. They provide structure for your registration plan, while you remain free to adjust pacing, move between topics, pause, extend, or integrate learning based on your child’s needs.
Start with a short-guided intake - we'll take care of the rest.
Once you complete the guided intake, we begin building your child's program. Your responses are used to construct a structured, curriculum-aligned program tailored specifically to your child — their year level, goals, strengths and learning context.
The program is then thoroughly assessed before it is finalised and delivered to you. You will receive a completed DOCX file, ready to submit with your application.
Yes, but in a controlled way.
Technology is part of how we build programs efficiently. However, every program is individually assessed before it is finalised. Technology does not replace human involvement and review, and it does not make final decisions. We take quality seriously at every step - nothing leaves until it meets our standard.
The program you receive is built specifically for your child. No two Apply-ED programs are the same.
You receive a completed home education program document via email in DOCX format that:
Yes.
Every program goes through a human review process to ensure it is clear, personalised, complete, and appropriate for submission.
If changes are required, a revised version of the program is created and reviewed again. Each approved program is treated as a final version for clarity and record-keeping.
Yes.
Up to two program revisions are included at no additional cost, provided:
Revisions are limited to changes requested by the education authority that relate to the program content or structure.
Changes due to:
…may require additional input. In these cases, additional charges may apply and would be discussed with you before proceeding.
Apply-ED cannot guarantee approval decisions, as they are made by the relevant education authority and are outside our control.
However, Apply-ED does guarantee the quality and structure of the program we produce. Programs are created to align with curriculum expectations and home education documentation requirements.
Yes.
Once delivered, the program document belongs to you and you are free to edit or adapt it as needed before submission. Many families choose to personalise wording or make small adjustments to reflect their circumstances.
That’s exactly what Apply-ED helps with. You provide information about your child and learning context, and Apply-ED helps translate that into clear, appropriate program language.
The base price for a single child's program is $0 AUD. Additional children in the same order are $0 AUD each.
Optional add-ons are available at checkout:
There are no hidden fees. The price your see at checkout if the price you pay.
Yes.
You complete a single intake form covering all your children and receive one consolidated order. Each child gets their own individually built program.
Additional children beyond the first are priced at a reduced rate. You'll see the full breakdown at checkout before you pay.
Three optional add-ons are available when you order:
Add-ons are selected at checkout and apply per child.
Payment is made at checkout before your program is built. We use Stripe for secure payment processing — your card details are never stored by Apply-ED.
Only minimal information is collected, such as:
No surnames, addresses, or sensitive personal details are required.
Parents remain fully responsible for the program and its implementation. Apply-ED provides personalised structured documentation support but does not assume responsibility for teaching or educational outcomes.
Your information is used only to build and review your home education program. It is not shared or used for unrelated purposes.
No obligation. No submission on your behalf.
