Business e-services

The portal

You can submit applications using the portal if you have an account.

If you submitted your application through the portal please use the View Applications service to:

  • check the progress of your application
  • view an application’s estimated completion date
  • reply to requisitions (even if you have posted your application)
  • request extension of time to deal with a requisition

Read our guidance about the View Applications service.

Portal users can also use the Application Enquiry service to:

  • request an expedite if an application needs to be fast tracked
  • view any prior pending applications that affect an application
  • view any discharges

Find out how to make an application enquiry in the portal.

Do not use the Reply to Requisition function to send us a request for expedite.

Business Gateway

If you use third-party integration software to lodge applications with us you can still use the portal (if you have an account) as above, to check progress, reply to requisitions or request an extension of time.

If you do not have a portal account, send your reply to our standard address.
