You may begin anywhere in this nomination form. Please ensure you save as you go.

If you need more help using this form, download the Help Guide for Applicants or check out Applicant Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's).
NAVIGATING (MOVING THROUGH) THE NOMINATION FORM
On the right hand side of every screen, there is a box that links directly to every page of the nomination form. Click the link to jump directly to the page you want.
You can also click 'next page' or 'previous page' on the top or bottom of each page to move forward or backward through the nomination form.
SAVING YOUR DRAFT NOMINATION
If you wish to leave a partially completed nomination form, press 'save' and log out. When you log back in and click on the 'My Submissions' link at the top of the screen, you will find a list of any applications you have started or submitted. You can reopen your draft Australia Day Awards 2015 Nomination Form and start where you left off.
You can also download any application, whether draft or completed, as a PDF. Click on the 'Download' button at the bottom of the application navigation panel.
SUBMITTING YOUR NOMINATION
You will find a Review and Submit button at the bottom of the Navigation Panel. You need to review your nomination before you can submit it.
Once you have reviewed your nomination you can submit it by clicking on 'Submit' at the top of the screen or on the navigation panel. You will not be able to submit your nomination until all the compulsory questions are completed.
Once you have submitted your nomination, no further editing or uploading of support materials is possible.
When you submit your nomination form, you will receive an automated confirmation email with a copy of your submitted nomination attached. This will be sent to the email you used to register.
If you do not receive a confirmation of submission email then you should presume that your submission has NOT been submitted.
ATTACHMENTS AND SUPPORT DOCUMENTS
You will be required to upload/submit attachments to support your nomination. This is very simple, but requires you to have the documents saved on your computer, or on a zip drive, or similar.
You need to allow enough time for each file to upload before trying to attach another file. Files can be up to 25MB each; however, we do recommend trying to keep files to a maximum of 5MB – the larger the file, the longer the upload time.
COMPLETING A NOMINATION IN A GROUP/TEAM
A number of people can work on an application using the same log in details as long as only one person is working at a time. Ensure you save as you go.
SPELL CHECK
Most internet browsers (including Firefox v2.0 and above; Safari; and Google Chrome) have spell checking facilities built in – you can switch this function on or off by adjusting your browser settings.
