OneHome Education
Our Education App is an Australian homeschool documentation platform designed for neurodivergent families.

OneHome Education takes the stress out of homeschool documentation for Australian families, with a special focus on supporting neurodivergent learners and PDA-affirming approaches.
We believe learning happens everywhere; in the kitchen, at the beach, through video games, and in countless everyday moments. Our platform helps you capture these moments simply, then uses AI to identify connections to your state’s curriculum outcomes (NSW Syllabus, Victorian Curriculum, or Australian Curriculum).
When reporting time comes, generate professional learning portfolios with one click. No more scrambling to remember what you did or struggling to translate natural learning into educational language.
Key features:
- Simple evidence capture with photo uploads
- AI-powered curriculum matching across all states
- Flexible, PDA-affirming learning plan generation
- One-click portfolio generation for education authorities
- Multi-child family support
Built by a homeschooling parent who understands that documentation shouldn’t be harder than the learning itself.
School Supports
This service delivers interactive workshops to inspire connection and growth. We can work with individuals, families, education staff, or a combination of people to foster innovation and build affirming environments for neurodiverse and gender-diverse children and young people.
