User accounts for ORIC online lodgement
What’s a user account
A user account is the account you use to sign in to ORIC’s online lodgement portal.
In the portal you can maintain your corporation’s records on the Register of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Corporations, lodge corporation reports, and ask the Registrar for a type of relief or support such as an exemption from part of the CATSI Act or to review a draft rule book.
Who can request a user account
You must be an individual. To protect the integrity of your corporation information we permit user accounts only for individuals, not for corporations.
We allow accounts for:
- A person who is not yet associated with a corporation to apply for registration of a corporation.
- A person who is associated with a corporation in the role of a director or a secretary. We recognise your appointment assigns you responsibility to lodge forms and reports with ORIC.
- A person whom the board of directors has passed a resolution to delegate their authority to lodge forms and reports with ORIC.
To have an account you must also agree to the terms and conditions for lodging information in ORIC’s online lodgement portal.
You can use our template for delegating directors' powers or create your own.
How to create a user account
If you are:
- a person applying to register a corporation, or
- a person appointed as a director or secretary of a corporation
you can create an account in the online lodgement portal.
When you lodge your account request the system will look to match your information with corporation records. If the system finds you the account will be created automatically; if the system cannot match your information it will send a message to ORIC staff to check your request.
If you are a person to whom the board has delegated power to lodge forms and reports, you can apply by sending an email to onlinehelp@oric.gov.au. Remember to attach evidence of the board’s resolution to delegate their power to you.
