On the left-hand side of every screen of the Application form, there is a box which links directly to every page of the application form. Click the link to move 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 application form.
You are strongly encouraged to save your application form every 5 to 10 minutes to reduce the risk of loss of information.
If you wish to leave a partially completed application, press 'save and close' 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 application and start where you left off.
You can also download any application, whether draft or completed, as a PDF. Click on the 'Download PDF' button located at the bottom of the last page of the application form.
You will find a 'Review and Submit' button at the bottom of the Navigation Panel. You need to review your application before you can submit it. Ensure that all fields and mandatory questions marked with an asterisk '*' are completed.
Once you have reviewed your application you can submit it by clicking on 'Submit' at the top or bottom of the screen or on the navigation panel.
IMPORTANT: Any question marked with an asterisk ('*') is mandatory. Failure to answer any of these questions will stop you from being able to complete and submit your application form.
Once you have submitted your application, no further editing or uploading of supporting documents is possible.
When you submit your application, you will receive a confirmation email with a copy of your submitted application attached. This will be sent to the email you used to register with SmartyGrants.
If you do not receive a 'confirmation of submission' email, then your application has NOT been received. Review the error message highlighted in red and ensure that all mandatory fields have been completed. You should then be able to successfully submit your application.
Hint: also check the email hasn't landed in your spam or junk email folder.
You will need to upload attachments to support your application. This is simple but will require you to have the documents saved on your computer, or on a USB stick, 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, files up to a maximum of 5MB are recommended - the larger the file, the longer it takes to attach.
Remember - some requested document fields are mandatory. Failure to attach them will stop you from being able to successfully submit your application form.
If you are not able to attach a document, please contact SmartyGrants on phone (03) 9320 6888 for technical support.
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.
It is recommended that the email address provided be accessible by multiple people within the organisation, such as admin@project.com.au. This ensures that correspondence is readily seen and allows for any changes in staff throughout the duration of the project.
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.
If a technical error occurs, staff at SmartyGrants are available to help you. Contact them on phone (03) 9320 6888 during business hours or email service@smartygrants.com.au and quote your application number.
