What is an exemption and why do I need it?
Every parent of a child of compulsory school age or young person in the compulsory participation phase has a legal obligation to ensure their child is enrolled at and attending school or participating in an eligible option.
Parents can apply for an exemption from this obligation when their child cannot (or it would be unreasonable in all the circumstances) attend school or participate in an eligible option for a period of more than 10 consecutive school days.
