This notice is to clarify several specific issues with the upcoming submission on or before 31st December 2017.
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
As a Co Provider you must ensure that your details are current / up to date and submitted electronically.
The new Co Provider profile renewal sections enable you to submit only relevant current and up to date information. NFA does not require additional copies of documents that are unchanged (eg CV, ABN) or that are still valid and in date ( eg WWCC, Police Check – 5 year validation date)

This is a very strict compliance requirement. Thank you for understanding.
