Join An Applicant

The following page will show you how to join an Applicant in the registration system.

The Applicant is the company or organisation submitting product registration applications to the regulatory authorities. The Applicant is responsible for the applications they submit and holds the legal responsibility for product registrations.

If you’re an agent registering on behalf of an Applicant, click here for important information that you need to read before creating an Applicant.

Applicants submitting product registration applications to the GEMS Regulator may be based in Australia or overseas. Businesses registered in Australia must provide an Australian Company Number (ACN) and / or an Australian Business Number (ABN) in the Create New Applicant process.

Applicants submitting product registration applications to the New Zealand Regulator must be based and already registered in New Zealand.
