She ele I believe homeschooled children can sit Naplan in Vic (not sure of other states) if they approach their local school and the local school allows it.
Homeschooling can be part time at home and school or full-time home-schooled. The VRQA Victorian Registration and Qualifications Authority are the ones that homeschoolers must be registered with. They have the power to review home-school records in the state of Victoria. Different states have different processes, some are stricter than others.
My DD does Distance Education which is the states curriculum and they are brilliant. The kids have access to teachers and work comes in packages for them to complete. Under this system kids access Naplan and are supervised by the parent. The school has guidelines and work must be submitted on time.
My older two girls were homeschooled and I developed a lot of their curriculum in line with therapy, speech, physio and OT. I also had a lot of information on the required curriculum and spent many hours developing something that worked for them in line with the KLA's.
However in saying that they were very disabled and autistic but I still taught them to read and write. They both attend High School two days a week now and do brilliantly with an aide. Due to the level of disability they were exempt from Naplan when it came in.
