ACCU Scheme transition to Online Services

All Australian Carbon Credit Unit (ACCU) Scheme services are progressively moving from Client Portal to Online Services.

This means that over time there will be one location for:

• scheme enrolment
• registering new projects
• varying existing projects
• reporting and crediting for existing projects
• notifying us of events impacting your project
• managing your project, including user permissions.

We have upgraded our systems to make participation easy and application processing faster. Read more about improving ACCU Scheme services. 

We’ll continue to update this page as new capabilities are rolled out in Online Services.

Latest improvements to Online Services 

We’ve made improvements to Online Services so it’s easier for you to manage your project.

Requests for information

Clean Energy Regulator requests for further information (RFI) regarding an application will now be managed using a new form in Online Services. We’ll send you an email asking you to log in to Online Services to provide the required information.

Project list

A new project list is available on the Online Services homepage. It contains a list of the projects that you have permission to act for and allows you to easily navigate to the project view for more detailed information.

If the project you are looking for is not visible in the project list, try switching to act for another account.

Project view

A new project view allows you to see the details about your project including upcoming milestones and history of report submissions. It also allows you to manage your project by starting a new offsets report, varying the project or submitting a notification.

Providing feedback

You can provide feedback about these improvements via the banner in Online Services. Your feedback is important and helps us to continuously improve our services.
