More FAQs

What happens if I want to change my payments?

You can reschedule upcoming payments via the Customer Portal. If you would prefer to talk to someone from our Family Support team call 1300 139 445 or email contact@edstart.com.au

Is Edstart a loan or credit?

No, Edstart is not a loan or line of credit. We don't require any financial information, we're simply a more streamlined and flexible way to pay your school fees.

How does Edstart calculate payment plans during the setup process?

During your account setup, you can customise your plan using the fee information your school has provided us. You'll select what applies to your child e.g. year groups, extracurricular activities, additional fees, etc. — and we'll build an estimated payment plan. This is an estimate only and will be adjusted to match the actual amount once we process the invoice or statement from your school.

When do payments start after completing the setup process?

You will be asked to specify a start date when setting up your payment schedule, and payments with Edstart will only commence after this date.
