Prepare for your application meeting
Let's start your journey to IDEA!
To prepare for your meeting, we ask that you and your child complete our application form below to give us some more insight into your unique circumstances. This will help the team to prepare for our meeting, and begin to co-design your program.
The form will take approximately 15 minutes to complete (depending on how detailed you want your answers to be).
- Confirm your details.
- Provide some additional information on your child.
- Upload a copy of your child’s most recent academic report (if available).
- Upload a character reference letter (<one page). The letter should provide details about the young person’s character, previous engagement with learning (academic or vocational), and suitability for a model like IDEA. The letter should be written by:
- a teacher or leader from your current or previous school;
- your homeschool moderator;
- a lecturer;
- a support worker; or
- a mentor who knows the young person in a professional or academic capacity.
- Tell us a bit about your child and their unique context.
- Tell us why you think IDEA might be a good fit.
- Tell us a bit about themselves and their interests.
- Tells us why they would like to join IDEA.

What to expect at the meeting
The application meeting is a 45-minute meeting with a member of the IDEA team, focused on you! We want to understand whether we might be the right fit for you, and if you’ll be the right fit for IDEA. You will:
- Get to meet the IDEA team and students (if you come during program hours).
- Get to know a bit more about IDEA.
- Learn how IDEA might work for you.
- Receive initial pathways planning advice.
We understand it can be nerve racking coming to an “interview”, but we encourage you to relax. Ask lots of questions and tell us what has and hasn’t worked for you in the past. We’re here to help 🙂
