Please note if you clear your browsing history or try access the form on another device your responses will not be saved. 

For suppliers applying to join the Health & Safety Checklist, we require you to complete one form per location/property/destination. We do not accept global registrations that cover the whole company. We enforce this because different locations will vary in regards to their compliance elements and the activities on offer to consumers.

If you are a current tourism supplier (accommodation, attraction, touring/tours, transport, watercraft, water-based activities, aircraft, air-based activity etc.) and wish to have a listing on the H&S Directory, then please register as a supplier. 

If you wish to gain access to the participating suppliers' business compliance information and you are a buyer (ITO, OTA, retail agent, wholesaler etc) then please register via the buyer application form. 

If you are still unsure as to what registration type to select, please make contact with the Checklist team (checklist@atec.net.au) 

During the application process, you create an account with us. This allows you to return to the portal, log in and update your record or access our resources at any time once you have been approved. 

As you can access and update your record anytime, we recommend you actively maintain the currency of your information and update changes as they take place.

To remain listed on the Directory, you will be required to review your answers at the point of your renewal (every 12 months) or when your public liability insurance expires - whichever event occurs first.  

You will receive a notification prior to the expiry of key compliance documents (eg: PLI), if you fail to update the PLI certificate of currency, you will receive an email informing you that the Directory is displaying that your PLI is no longer current. Failure to update core information will result in the removal of your business record from our Directory.

Participating buyers will be able to view all approved suppliers' business compliance information via the business profile upon login. This information is locked behind a login wall and is only made available to approved buyer participants. Buyers may also share this information with their relevant wholesalers.

The public H&S Register is visible to any webpage visitor and only includes company names and the state/territory location of participating suppliers.  No compliance or contact information is available on the public H&S Register.

All buyers participating within the Australian international travel trade including inbound tour operators, international wholesalers, online travel agents along with domestic travel wholesalers and travel agents are eligible to have access to the website which features the directory of all participants.
