One of the biggest misconceptions about homeschooling is that learning only happens when children are completing formal lessons.
Some of the most valuable learning opportunities happen through extra-curricular activities and everyday experiences.

Hi, I'm Lydia, founder of Homeschool Academy Tutoring, the Libertarian Candidate for Narre Warren South, and the Victorian Education Policy Spokesperson.

I founded Homeschool Academy because I was a single mum who became an accidental homeschooler. I needed help. I felt overwhelmed, afraid of failing my son, and completely unprepared. The support I felt I needed simply didn't exist, so I created exactly what I needed for my son and our homeschooling journey.

Since then, my passion for children, especially vulnerable children, has grown into something of a warrior spirit. I want change. I want to help our children. I want governments to support families. I want our children to grow into strong, healthy, capable adults.

That's why I decided to step into politics and fight from the inside.

As you can imagine, getting into Parliament won't be easy, but I am determined to give it my very best.

I believe:

โ€ข Children need to be protected.
โ€ข Children should have the freedom to learn in ways that suit them best.
โ€ข Parents should never lose authority over their children. Governments have no right to replace the role of parents.
โ€ข Education needs a complete overhaul.
โ€ข Home education deserves recognition and support.
โ€ข NDIS funding should support educational needs.

There are so many things that need to change. Wishing for change isn't enough. That's why I'm stepping up and stepping in.

If you would like to support my campaign, whether through volunteering, joining the Libertarian Party, or making a donation, please send me a message.

Our children are our future, and they deserve a beautiful one.

I'm not opposed to families seeking assessments when they feel it's appropriate. What concerns me is that we're focusing on finding more diagnoses while many diagnosed children still aren't receiving the support they need.

The real issue isn't whether we can identify neurodiverse children. It's whether we're willing to provide the resources, flexibility, and educational support they require once we do.

Semester 2 comes with some exciting new workshops designed to support more than just academic learning.

Education should help prepare children and young people for life. Our workshops focus on building confidence, independence, communication skills, social participation, problem-solving, and real-world life skills.

Our workshops are designed to support the whole child because Life Skills and Academics belong together.

Plus, the kids love it!

We are extremely excited to be interviewing Carlz for our next Homeschool Podcast via Zoom on the 9th of June at 7:30pm!

This is going to be such an eye-opening and practical session for homeschooling families wanting to better understand how AI can support home education in real life.

Carlz will be walking us through some of the latest AI tools now available.

Whether you are completely new to AI or already experimenting with it in your homeschool journey, this session will give you practical ideas, live demonstrations and real examples of how these tools can work within a home education environment... Ai isn't here to replace education, it is here to assist education!

There will also be time for questions and discussion throughout the session.

I officially step into the political realm as the Libertarian candidate for Narre Warren South.

This wasnโ€™t a decision I made lightly.

Iโ€™m stepping forward because Iโ€™m tired of the direction Australia is heading. Iโ€™m tired of crushing taxes, endless bureaucracy, government overreach, and watching small businesses get buried under systems that were supposedly designed to support them.

This is personal for me.

As the founder of HomeschoolAcademy, I have personally experienced what government overreach can do. Decisions made by governing bodies saw us lose half of our business and deeply impacted the families we support. The effects are still being felt today.

Iโ€™m also deeply concerned about the future we are leaving for our children. I fear the increasing interference in family life, education, and the values being pushed onto the next generation.

I will absolutely continue running Homeschool Academy because supporting families remains at the core of who I am. But Iโ€™ve realised that if we truly want change, we cannot just complain from the sidelines.

Change happens from the inside.

Iโ€™m passionate about:
โ€ข Protecting freedoms and reducing government overreach
โ€ข Supporting small businesses instead of suffocating them/less taxes
โ€ข Defending family choice and homeschooling freedoms
โ€ข Creating a future where our children can thrive

This is only the beginning, and Iโ€™m ready to fight for the future of Victoria and Australia.

Personal story... our truth!

My son was once a happy, confident little boy.
Then he started schoolโ€ฆ and slowly, year after year, I watched that confidence disappear. He became a shell of himself.

Teachers believed he had learning difficulties, processing issues, attachment anxiety and a range of other concerns. School became incredibly hard, not only for him, but for me as his mum too.
Eventually, I made the decision to homeschool him.
I did not make that decision because I wanted to shelter him. I made it because I wanted my confident, happy child back.

And that is exactly what happened.
The transformation was unbelievable.
He went from being a child who struggled to speak to peopleโ€ฆ to a young man confidently standing on stage speaking to crowds.

From a child who was supposedly โ€œfailingโ€โ€ฆ to a 17 year old opening his own business and working in an industry he genuinely loves.

Removing my child from an environment that was unproductive and unhealthy for him was the best decision I ever made.

Homeschooling gave my son the space to rebuild his confidence, rediscover who he was, and thrive again.
Not every child flourishes in the same environment, and that is okay.

Because too many children end up stuck in the middle.

Not โ€œneurodiverse enoughโ€ to qualify for meaningful supportโ€ฆ
But too neurodiverse to thrive in a mainstream classroom environment.

These children are often bright, creative, capable and full of potential, yet they spend years feeling misunderstood, overwhelmed, anxious or constantly behind. Families are left fighting for assessments, support, adjustments and understanding, only to still watch their child struggle every single day.

For many parents, homeschooling is not about sheltering their children.
It is about finally being able to meet them where they are at.

More flexibility.
Less pressure.
More connection.
Less masking.
More real learning.
Less surviving.

When education is adapted to the child instead of forcing the child to adapt to the system, everything can change.

And honestly? Many families are exhausted from trying to make a system work that simply was not built for children who learn differently.
