their student’s information, anytime, anywhere, through a smartphone,
tablet or computer.

instantly with our school to access and manage their student’s information, including:

What do you need to do to get started?
Periodically we email invitations to the first parent/carer on our system. If you haven't received this invitation, please call the school (ph 4192 1222) and we can assist you with the process.
From the invitation email, simply follow the instructions to register your QParents account. The process should take less than 10 minutes to complete. Invitations sent by email will only ever come from no.reply@qparents.qld.edu.au. You will not be invited to register from any other email address or organisation.
If you do no not want to register you can just ignore the invitation and your student's information will not be available to anyone through QParents.
Identity Verification – (upon receipt of the invitation email)
When registering as a QParents Account Owner (QPAO), you will need to verify 100 points of identity documents online. The 100 points can be made up of documents in the following list:
Australian Passport |
50 pts |
Australian Marriage Certificate |
40 pts |
Australian Driver Licence |
50 pts |
Australian Citizenship Certificate |
40 pts |
Australian Birth Certificate |
50 pts |
Change of Name Certificate |
40 pts |
Medicare Card |
20 pts |
Australian Visa (foreign passports) |
20 pts |
If you only have 60-90 points of the above ID documents you can still register for QParents, but you will need to attend the school for an additional check after you have registered online. If you don’t have sufficient documents, you might like to nominate another parent/carer as the QPAO.
EQ ID
You will also need to have your student's EQ ID (their Department of Education, Queensland identification number) in order to complete your QParents registration. This is available from OneSchool, which student's use to complete subject selections online. It is in the top right hand corner of the OneSchool screen when your student logs on (oslp.eq.edu.au). It is also on your student's timetable.
Safe and secure
QParents is a secure portal that meets strict industry standards. The Department of Education and Training considers student information to be confidential (it is classified as PROTECTED by the Department). Only people with the right to access information about their student will be given an account. Additionally, as part of the registration process, 100 points of identity will need to be presented to prove that the person who is registering is the person the school invited.
