When is the deadline?

Sign up if you're applying for the first time

If you're applying for the first time, use the Sign Up link on the Login screen to set up an account.
Please use an email address you will check regularly.
Please use a personal email rather than e.g. a work email, so you can still access your account if you change jobs.
We'll email you a link to verify your account. Your email software may treat our emails as junk or spam, so please check your Junk/Spam Email folder(s).
You can sign up using a phone or tablet, but the Application is long and thorough, so we recommend filling it in on a desktop or laptop.

Login if you've applied before

If you've started or submitted an Application before, please Login with the same email address and password as last time.
This gives you access to your previous Application, and also gives the people you nominate access to any previous Suitability Statements they've written for you.
If you've forgotten your password please use the link on the Login screen to get a re-set email. Your email software may treat our emails as junk or spam, so please check your Junk/Spam Email folder(s).
If you submitted an Application in previous years, when you start a new Application you can Copy information into most screens.

Keeping track of your work on your Application

Please Save your answers regularly on each page of your Application.

Save Draft

For the long text questions with character limits, if you Save Draft you can go over the character limit so it's easier to draft/edit your answers onscreen.
You can use Save Draft to keep track of which pages you still want to work on as they will not be ticked in the menu.

Save as Complete

Save as Complete checks you've completed the mandatory questions and ticks that page in the menu.
You can still edit your answers in pages with ticks until you submit your Application.
Once you use Save as Complete you can no longer go over the character limit on long text questions.
When you are ready, please use Save as Complete on each page before you submit your Application.
