Attachments and supporting documents

• Review Section 6.1 of the guidelines, ‘Attachments to the application’, to understand what documentation you may need to upload/submit to support your application. Please have these documents to hand before starting your application.
• Allow enough time for each file to upload before trying to attach another file. Files can be up to 25MB each, but we recommend a maximum of 5MB to minimise upload times.

Session time-out warning

• For security reasons, your login session will expire after 20 minutes of inactivity. Saving your application or navigating to another page resets the timer.
• You’ll be prompted 90 seconds before your session expires, with the option to extend your session or log out. If you don’t respond to the prompt in time, your form will be automatically saved before your session ends. However, we recommend saving your application regularly to avoid losing any work.
