Start your Application

We wish you the best of luck with your Application!

If you have any issues using our website, e.g. in relation to a disability, please contact us to discuss how you can make an application e.g. for our support in using the website, for an application in another format, etc.

It's too late to apply

Applications closed on 20 November 2024

But you can see what's usually involved and start preparing if you wish.

You can sign up for an account, but you can't start an application at this time of year.

Some details may change for the next application cycle. We will update this site in September.

Sample blank forms - for information only

You can, if you wish, check what questions are asked before signing up.

The sample forms provided below are for information only: they cannot be used to apply.

 

 

 

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 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).
  • Whilst you can sign up using a phone or tablet, the Application is both thorough and lengthy, so we recommend completing it on a desktop or laptop.

Login if you've applied before

  • If you started or submitted an Application in the last two years, 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 provided 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 the last two years, when you start a new Application this year you will be able to Copy information from your previous Application into most screens.

Keeping track of your work on your Application

Please Save your answers on each screen of your Application, using the Save Draft and Save as Complete options.

Save Draft

  • For the long text questions with character limits, if you use Save Draft you can exceed the character limit to make it easier to draft and edit your answers onscreen.
  • You can also use Save Draft to keep track of which screens you still want to work on as they will not be ticked in the menu.

Save as Complete

  • Save as Complete checks that you have completed the mandatory questions on that screen. It will give that screen a tick in the menu.
  • You can continue to edit your answers in screens with ticks until you submit your Application.
  • Once you use Save as Complete you will no longer be able to exceed the character limit on long text questions.
  • When you are ready, you should use Save as Complete on each screen before you submit your Application.
