If your organisation has made an application previously, it should appear when you start typing in the ‘Organisation Name’ box.

If not, clear your internet history and refresh your application. If the problem still persists try moving to a different browser. 

If your organisation is not registered on our system you will need to submit a registration request – click on the Applicants Register Here button on the portal login page.

Before registering please refer to the User Registration Guide and the instructions at the top of the registration page.

Guidance on using the EPA's Grant Management and Application portal can be found on the Grants Management page of the EPA Website, or accessed when logged into the portal.

If you have attempted to login several times using incorrect login details you will be temporarily locked out of the system - please wait at least 10 minutes before trying again. If invalid username or password messages continue to appear on the screen, before attempting to login again please:
