I have created an account but I cannot find the verification email. What should I do?

When you are creating an account, the system will automatically send you a verification email as part of the process.

This will be sent from [email protected]. If it is not in your inbox, please check your junk or spam email folders.

If you still cannot find the email, ensure that [email protected] is in your list of approved senders, then go back to the Major Projects website and restart the registration process.

When I click on the verification link in the email, I recieve an error stating the link is expired. Can you please resend the link?

The verification link remains active for 24 hours. If you are unable to validate your account within this time period, you will need to restart the account creation process.

I have created an account but don't have access to my organisation's work

To access an organisation’s work, the administrator of the organisation must add you to the account.

If you have elected to be part of an organisation when you created your account,  the administrator will be notified by email so that they are aware you are trying to access the organisation.

If you are trying to access a different organisation than the one you registered as,  you must contact the administrator of that organisation and ask them to add you to your organisation’s account.

See below for information on how to add people to an account.

How can I add other people to my account?

If you have registered as an organisation, and you are the administrator of the account, you can add other people to your organisation’s account so they can see your work and lodge applications on your behalf.

How to add users to your organisation’s account:

  • Sign in to your account and click on the menu icon in the top left-hand corner of the screen.
  • Click ‘Account Management’.
  • Click on the link to the organisation that you would like to add users to.
  • Click on the ‘Manage Associates’ button to add new users to your organisation’s account.
