Account
How do I create an account?
When you checkout with your purchases you can create or checkout as a guest. If you choose to checkout as a guest your details will not be saved in your own account on our website. Nor will any of your purchases. If you do create an account this is where you will be able to view past orders, access previous purchases and update your details.
I’ve forgotten my password!
My email address was typed incorrectly when I set up my account.
If you’ve made a mistake, you can change your email yourself by logging into your account (using the incorrect email address you typed) and then going to your account details in the dashboard. However, if you know you’ve made a mistake but you’re not sure of the spelling or error, send through a support email so we can troubleshoot this for you.

Ridgy Rewards
What are Ridgy Rewards
RidgyRewards are points which can be applied to future Ridgy Didge Resources purchases. The amount you can apply is displayed in Australian Dollars (AUD) on your account balance page.
You can earn RidgyRewards by:
– making a purchase through checkout
– for signing up to be a member
– for writing reviews on purchased products
– for referring friends who make a purchase through the website
For every $1 you spend on the Ridgy Didge Resources website, you can earn 1 reward point. Every 20 reward points earned equals $1 you can apply to future Ridgy Didge Resources purchases. We’ll round it up for you too! For example, if you make a purchase on a resource priced $4.75, you’ll earn 5 reward points.
RidgyRewards are only earned on purchases, signing up as a member, writing reviews on purchased products or for successful referral of friends. Reward points are not earned on gift card purchases, inactive resources, or free downloads.
To redeem your RidgyReward points, look for “Apply Discount” button located at the top of your cart. Click this button and the discount will then be displayed in your cart totals. If you have any valid RidgyReward point to use, they will be displayed above your cart. If there is no ‘Apply Discount’ button, you will not have earned enough points yet to redeem the discount.

Membership FAQs
Is there an ongoing renewal fee?
Yes. A $20 ongoing annual renewal fee will be automatically charged to you each year.
What happens if I don’t renew my membership?
You will lose access to all our membership goodies in your membership portal. You will still have access to your portal and any individual purchases you have made, including access to our Free Resource Library, but you will lose access to the year level unit plans, the membership bonus materials and our Ridgy Didge Teacher Facebook group. And you will no longer be eligible for the 25% off discount on individual purchases.
What if the curriculum is updated? Will I receive updates to resources if the curriculum changes?
Your membership purchase will give you access to units aligned to V9.0 of the Australian Curriculum. If there are minor changes to this, you will receive free updates to our units in your membership portal. If there are major changes (like a full curriculum overhaul), then you will need to purchase another membership as this will require a significant amount of work here at Ridgy Didge HQ to rewrite units to comply with curriculum standards.
Is there a minimum number of teachers that a school can purchase for?
A school will need to purchase for at least two teachers.
I am a school administrator, can I add and remove teachers myself?
Yes! As an administrator, you will be given your own membership portal, where you can manage those that have access to the planning documents that you have purchased on their behalf. You can add teachers.
I am a school administrator, I already have a school membership but am needing to purchase new membership for additional educators that have been added to our teaching staff. How do I do this?
To add additional members to your membership, please contact us: admin@ridgydidgeresources.com and we can arrange this for you.
I am a home educator, will the units still be relevant to a home school setting?
The short answer is yes! Our units are written with a classroom setting in mind, however, any of the activities or worksheets can be completed in a home setting too. You may find you don’t need to do all of the activities as home schooling children can tend to pick up concepts a bit quicker due to the more one-on-one nature of the learning context. Just like in a classroom, the lesson sequences can be adapted to suit your own personal learning circumstances and your little learner’s needs.
How much?
Of course you were all going to ask this! Our Teacher Plus membership is $200 (with a recurring annual payment of $20) and our Home Educator Plus is $130 (with a recurring annual payment of $10). This is honestly an absolute bargain and this is the last time our memberships will be this cheap! Doors close on Saturday and prices will go up when they open again in January.
What do I get in my membership?
– You get all your planning done for you (over $500 worth) for your chosen grade including Health, HASS, Science and Writing. Maths units will be added throughout next year.
– Discounts on future purchases
– Scope and Sequences
– Yearly Overviews
– Learning Intentions and Success Criteria Posters
– Bonus Resource Library (classroom decor, posters, themed activity sheets
– Free Resource Library access
– Facebook Support group access
Do you offer a membership for single subjects?
Not yet sorry. We will be creating ultimate bundles for F-6 for Health, Science, HASS and Writing – but these won’t be available until January at this stage. Keep your eye out for a notice about these in our end of month email.
I already have a lot of your units, is the membership worth it for me?
This depends on how much is ‘a lot’. Some people have emailed me with their list of ‘a lot’ and it actually is only 2 units from the grade they were intending on buying. Other people have all of HASS or all of Science already. Next year $300 worth of resources for Maths will be added to your member portal, so if you are in need of these – then the membership is still definitely worth it even if its just to get the Maths units alone.
I am a composite teacher, is the membership for me?
Absolutely yes! You will need to purchase multiple year levels though. You can follow the instructions here to do this and you can use the code ‘compositeclasscode’ at checkout to get 25% your purchase when you add more than one year level to your cart.
What happens if I change year level the following year?
You can simply purchase another year level to add to your member portal. And there is a sneaky little code that I will share in our Facebook support group that members can use to get a discount on future membership purchases.
What if I don't know what year level I am teaching next year?
If you don’t yet know what year level you are teaching, then simply choose the Teachers Plus TBC option. You will get access to your member portal but you won’t have access to the resources until you then email me with your choice of year level and then I can set the year level for you.
What if I already have a membership?
If you have never paid any money for a membership then you only have our teacher lite or home educator lite membership. These give you access to our scope and sequences and free resource library but not our unit plans, yearly planners, learning intentions and success criteria posters, bonus resource library and our Facebook support group.
When do doors close to the membership?
Doors close this Saturday 26 November. They won’t reopen until January.
