Home Education Foundation — Religion Charity in Tasmania

Home Education Foundation is a Trust charity in the Religion sector, based in Tasmania, Tasmania. This organisation also provides funding to other charities. Annual revenue: $0.0M NZD. Financial data as at March 2025.

Mission: The Home Education Foundation has been informing parents for years about the fantastic opportunity to de-institutionalise our children and to embrace the spiritual, intellectual and academic freedom that is ours for the taking. Through conferences, newsletters and all kinds of personal communications, we explain the vision of handcrafting each child into a unique individual, complete with virtuous character qualities, a hunger for service to others, academic acumen and a solid work ethic. The state drove a wedge between parents and children with the establishment of compulsory, secular schooling institutions in 1877. Today the vast majority of parents and children, having been forced by law to live in two separate worlds for the last 133 years, are completely alienated from one another….and everyone thinks it’s normal. The Home Education Foundation works to re-establish family cohesion so that families can truly be the uncompromised and unchallenged foundational units of society.

Reasons to look carefully (1)

These structural observations are drawn from public data and are worth considering before a donation. They are not allegations of wrongdoing, and they don’t affect the charity’s letter grade.

  • No chair recorded on the register
    No chair or presiding role is recorded in the register for this board of 3. The Charities Register does not require one to be identified, so this is a gap in the public record rather than a finding about the board.

Each signal is a data-driven observation, not a judgement. They fire automatically from the figures filed with Charities Services. A charity can address any of these by filing fuller disclosure or updating its officer register. Methodology: /about/methodology/concern-signals.
