Yes. In Australia the schools are usually called Steiner schools, after Rudolf Steiner, and elsewhere Waldorf schools. It is the same education. On this map, a school is called a Steiner school only if Steiner Education Australia lists it as a member.
Steiner schools in Australia are independent schools and charge fees, which vary widely by school. Some government primary schools, mostly in Victoria, run a Steiner stream alongside mainstream classes at no tuition cost. Check each school’s own website for current fees.
Steiner playgroups often start from birth to age 3 with a parent, kindergarten usually runs from about age 3 to 6, and Class 1 generally begins around age 6 or 7.
Many families live the Waldorf rhythm at home: the seasons and festivals, stories, handwork, and main lesson blocks. Starpath is a Waldorf-inspired homeschool curriculum written for exactly that, with the day planned out for the parent and no screens for the child. Local schools and kindergartens often welcome homeschooling families to fairs, festivals and parent-and-child groups too.
Waldorf-inspired home education with StarpathA place is called a Waldorf or Steiner school or kindergarten here only when its national association lists it as a member. We check those lists ourselves and date the check.
Everything else is marked Waldorf-inspired. Many are lovely, and some are on their way to membership, so it is worth asking them.
Most schools and kindergartens hold open mornings, and many run parent-and-child groups for the youngest. A visit tells you more than any page can. If there is no school within reach, or it is not the right fit, you can still bring the same rhythm, stories and handwork into your home.
