Registration/Login Page

What will I need to register • Your invitation code which the system will email to you once a year level is rolled out • Your student’s EQID No. This can be found on: – y our student’s report card – your student’s timetable in the study planner – any invoice/statement sent by the school – or you can contact the school • Identification documents

Verify your identity • You will need 100 points of identification from the following: (for security) – Driver’s Licence 50 points – Australian Passport 50 points – Australian Birth Certificate 50 points – Australian Marriage Certificate 40 points – Australian Citizenship Certificate 40 points – Medicare Card 20 points – Australian Visa 20 points

Verify Your Identity Screen

What if I don’t have 100 points of ID? • You can still register with 60 points or more. • You will then need to bring in two documents to the school to confirm your name and current address, such as a – utilities bill – bank statement. The school will contact you with details of other acceptable documents once you register.

Note re your ID Documents • Please make sure that the name on the document is entered EXACTLY the same as the name entered. • Your name will come up by default as entered in OUR database. (when u select template) • Make sure you over-ride this when entering your ID document name if required.

All requests need to be approved • Please note that all registrations need to be approved by the school. • Also all requests for changes to data need to be approved • You will receive a confirmation email

QParents Account Owner (QPAO) • The invitation automatically emails to the parent with the lowest ID No. in our student database • The QPAO (QParents Account Owner) can be changed to another parent – contact the school and another invitation will be sent. (Where no email is recorded in our database, a hard copy of the invitation will be mailed out)

What if I have students at more than one school • If students have been linked as siblings at primary school you will be able to add them under one account. – If you are already registered with QParents at another school, you will not need to re-register – just click “Accept” when you receive your invitation – If students are not linked, you will need to have two Account Numbers.

Delegated Viewers • A QParents Account Holder can nominate one or more “Delegated Viewers”, such as another parent or grandparent, to have access to the student’s account. • The Delegated Viewer role is a read-only role and no data can be changed. • Delegated viewers must have different email addresses to the Account Holder.

When can I access Qparents? • Year 7 has recently been rolled out and all Year 7 parents should have received invitations. • Years 8 to 11 will receive invitations soon. • As we roll out each year level, parents will be emailed an invitation with an individual QParents login code to register.
