This one isn't for other businesses: it's here so you can see how it works elsewhere.

Your school's account is free for 30 days, with no card needed. Contractors, volunteers and hirers never pay for their iComply pass.

Create the account

Step 1: Go to Start with iComply and choose School.
Step 2: Enter your work email and select Email me a sign-up link.
Step 3: Open the email Finish setting up your school on iComply and use its link within 48 hours. It works once.
Step 4: On Add your school, enter the School name and Your address (your school's own web address, suggested from the name and checked as you type).
Step 5: Choose your State or territory, Sector, School type and How many students are enrolled? Your enrolment sets your price. See School pricing.
Step 6: Add your ABN if you like (optional: we check it's a valid ABN).
Step 7: Check Your packs. People & Volunteers, Gate & Access, Assets & Plant and Audit & Quality are ticked because schools usually use them. Every pack is included in your price; Integrations, Insights & AI and Managed Service are priced separately.
Step 8: Enter Your name and a Password of at least 10 characters.
Step 9: Tick Have iComply check each document first if you want our team to check every upload before it reaches you (Managed Service; you can change it in Settings). See Checked by iComply.
Step 10: Read and accept the terms, the privacy policy and the organisation agreement, then select Create school account.

You land in the set-up guide. See The set-up guide. Your 30-day free trial has started, and the menu shows Free trial with the days left.

Until your register has someone on it, your Dashboard shows a Getting started card with these steps:

Step 1: Check your requirements: what each kind of provider must hold. The iComply presets suit most schools. See Requirements and presets.
Step 2: Add your first provider: email an invitation from Invites. See Invite a contractor or provider.
Step 3: Set up the front desk: open the kiosk on the office iPad. See The front desk.
Step 4: Invite your colleagues: give the front office and business manager their own sign-in in Users & access. See Invite your team.

Do I have to set up two-step sign-in? Not unless your school turns on Require two-step sign-in for everyone at this school, but we recommend it. See Two-step sign-in.
I skipped the enrolment. Admins see How many students are enrolled at your school on every page until it's set; until then you're shown the small-school price.
Can I change my packs later? Yes, any time in Settings → Your packs. See Packs for schools.

Requirement presets and starter packs are a starting point, not legal advice. Your school decides what each provider must hold.
