Grants Online registration form

Legal Aid NSW will complete verification checks on details you provide in the registration form. The details we need to verify are:

  • the ABN of the Law Practice with the Australian Business Register (ABR)
  • that each legal practitioner listed in the form matches their registration details with the Law Society of NSW, the NSW Bar Association or equivalent interstate organisation.

If any information listed with the ABR or professional association is not current, this will delay completion of the registration of your Law Practice and any individual associates for Grants Online.

Before completing the form to register for access to Grants Online, you must ensure the following

  1. That the ABN, name of the Law Practice and either entity or business name on the Australian Business Register (ABR) match.

    We are required by the ATO to deduct withholding tax from any payments to your Law Practice if they do not  match. We will check your ABN entity or business name against the name of the Law Practice registered with the relevant professional association (or interstate equivalent)

  2. That all associates at the Law Practice (requiring access to Grants Online) have up to date details registered with the Law Society of NSW, the NSW Bar Association or equivalent interstate organisation.

    This includes name of law practice/barrister/mediator, address, phone details and email address.

You must include details of all associates at the Law Practice who will undertake legal aid work.

Upon submission a confirmation message will appear, and you will receive an email, confirming successful receipt of your registration application. In most circumstances your registration will be processed within five working days.

We will complete the verification checks and contact you if we require any of the above details updated.

If you need help registering or have any queries about using Grants Online, email the Service Desk by or (02) 9219 5999.

Upon registering for Grant Online, the Law Practice, the Principal and all associates undertaking legal aid work agree to comply with the Terms and conditions of use of Grants Online.
