About us

We believe education is the world's most powerful investment

Edstart is a fee management company founded on the belief in the power of education and its transformative effect on people.

Our story and purpose

Our founders both grew up with parents who were school teachers. They have seen first-hand the positive impact of choosing the best possible education for a child and have a mission to improve access to learning for all.


Edstart was established a decade ago in Australia and initially offered payment plans and credit directly to parents. Over the years, we've listened, learnt and evolved with our partner schools to develop solutions that modernise the fee process by combining technology, people and funding.


Launched in 2016

700+ schools
