What is Happening?

We’ve updated our CEOF6016a and CEOF6016b Notice of Arrangement forms to improve data collection and streamline application processing. These forms are now live on the Document Library.

As an interim measure while we’re enhancing the new Essential Connections Portal, please continue to submit these Notice of Arrangement applications as PDF attachments via our Contestable Works inbox.
