How to Use the Approval and Reporting System

The Approval and Reporting System allows users to:

  • View a list of pre-approved activities (PAA)
  • Create and submit a Notice of Intent for the future use of a PAA
  • Create and submit a Completion Advice after the PAA has been completed
  • Download a New Activity Form if the activity you are planning is not part of the PAA list
  • Approve new users to the system.

Getting started

Government Schools

All Government school staff possess an edumail username and password. 

When accessing the system, an edumail login window will appear where users should type in this user name and password and click OK.

The school principal can add or delete access to individual staff as required.

For more information, see: Approval and Reporting System User Guide (Word - 1.3Mb).

Catholic and Independent Schools

To log in to the reporting system Catholic and Independent schools will need to have a valid Scientific Procedures Premises Licence (SPPL).  

Once the SPPL number is obtained and provided to the Department, your school's access is activated.  At this stage only the school principal is provided with an allocated edumail account.  These details are then used to log in to the system as per Government school users. 

The school principal is then able to add or delete access to individual staff as required.

 A step-by-step guide to assist principals in providing initial access to individual staff,  can be found in the last section of Approval and Reporting System User Guide - Non Government Sector (PDF - 126Kb).
