Secure Web Forms closes for CCEWs and NOSWs at 5pm 3 July 2023

Reminder! Secure Web Forms closes for CCEWs and NOSWs at 5pm on Monday 3 July 2023.

Submission of CCEWs and NOSWs is fee-free in Essential Connections until 5pm Monday 3 July 2023.

  • You will need to submit an Intent to Connect before you can submit a CCEW/NOSW, where there is a Connection Application offer.

What’s going on? My past cases have a status of “Pending ITC” (Intent to Connect)

When basic connections came into Essential Connections, the status of past applications changed to ‘Pending ITC’. This is the system working as expected but because it does not link back to Secure Web Forms, it does not recognise that any CCEWs or NOSWs have already been submitted.

If you have already submitted CCEWs and or NOSWs for past applications, you don’t need to do anything. We will apply a fix in the background to rectify this soon.
