Disability funding and Egg Academy enrolment

Disability funding and Egg Academy -- families enrol privately ($249 + GST Starter Course, then $40/month membership); support workers can share guides but guardians make enrolment decisions.

Families and <strong>disability support workers</strong> often ask whether Egg Academy can be paid through disability funding. Egg Academy is billed as <strong>private creative education</strong> to families -- not as a registered disability service. Some families use personal budgets or self-directed funding where their plan allows; others pay privately. This page explains costs, enrolment, and what coordinators should share with guardians.

Disability funding -- what families ask

Egg Academy is creative education, not a clinical or disability support service. Whether fees can come from a personal budget, Individualised Funding, or other plan depends on the family's funder and plan rules -- we cannot advise on eligibility. Families should check with their coordinator or funder. We can provide invoices and session detail families need for their own claims.

Family-led enrolment

Support workers and coordinators can share learn pages and book previews, but guardians enrol and pay. Flow: register interest on egg.ac, family check-in, Starter Course intake. Full detail: joining process and support coordinator guide.

Why families choose Egg Academy

Live creative sessions from home, facilitator-led moderation, Egg avatars, and tailored project pace after Egg-Xplore -- see disability-friendly online creative learning.

Can Egg Academy be paid for through disability funding?
Some families use personal budgets or self-directed funding where their plan allows. Egg Academy bills families privately; check with your coordinator or funder whether creative education fees fit your plan rules.
Can a support worker enrol a teen?
No. Enrolment is through the family or legal guardian. Support workers can share our guides and point families to egg.ac to register interest.
Is there a refund if it is not a fit?
Families can cancel Egg-Xplore before the first two weeks for a full refund. See trial and commitment.
