Based in Sydney, Pi Australia is closely aligned with the specific requirements of educational institutions nationwide. We’re excited to present this dedicated page for our education-focused partners who share a passion for STEM electronics. Whether you represent a primary school, a university, or any institution in between, this resource has been created to serve your STEM electronics needs.
Eligibility for Education Orders
Pi Australia strives to support the Australian educational landscape. Our specialised education order benefits are open to:
- Public Schools: All Australian public primary and secondary schools formally recognised by state or territory education departments.
- Private Schools: All registered private primary and secondary schools within Australia.
- Universities: Both public and private Australian universities, catering to undergraduate, postgraduate, or research students.
- Government-Accredited Colleges: Colleges that hold official accreditation from the Australian government, offering vocational or tertiary-level education.
To access our educational discount, orders must be placed by an authorised representative of an eligible institution. We may request documentation or identification to confirm eligibility. If you have questions or need help verifying eligibility, reach out to our educational sales team.
Special Pricing
We understand the budget considerations of Australian educational institutions. While our everyday prices are already designed to be highly competitive, we also recognise the impact of larger orders.
- Bulk Order Discounts: For institutions purchasing larger quantities, we have pricing structures intended to help you achieve maximum value.
- Consistently Competitive Pricing: Operating primarily online allows us to minimise overheads and offer cost benefits across our entire product range.
If you’re planning a bulk order or wish to learn more about education-specific pricing, please contact our team. We’ll ensure you receive the best value for your institution’s needs.

Purchase Orders at Pi Australia
Purchase Orders for Educational Institutions and Government Agencies
Pi Australia is an Australian-owned business. We welcome purchase orders (with net terms) from educational institutions and government bodies. You can place your order in either of the following ways:
- Email: Send your purchase order (or a list of the items you wish to buy) to team@littlebird.com.au.
- Online: Place your order via our website and choose the “Purchase Order” option at the checkout.
Should you need our business details (such as our ABN), they’re included below. If you need any assistance, please email or call us on 1300 240 817. We generally process purchase orders within the same NSW business day, though there may be occasions where it takes a bit longer.
Purchase Orders for Private Businesses
Private businesses can place orders online at any time. If your organisation requires payment terms, you’ll need approval before placing a purchase order. Educational institutions and government agencies do not require this pre-approval. Once your account is set up, the process is similar to that for schools.
We also provide our company details (including ABN) below. Orders are usually processed on the same NSW business day, subject to potential delays during busy periods.
Quotes for Private Businesses, Educational Institutions, and Government Agencies
If you need to purchase 1–20 units, our website typically offers the best pricing straight away. However, if you need a formal quote or intend to order in bulk, follow these steps:
- Email: Write to team@littlebird.com.au, listing each product’s SKU and quantity.
- Include Key Details: Let us know your delivery address and accounts payable information.
Our main business details, including our ABN, appear below. Also note that SKUs for each product can be found underneath the product title on our website.
If you prefer, you can download your cart as a CSV file from our site by selecting the “Download Cart as CSV” option.
