New applications for recognition

An organisation must submit an application to the ASC to be considered for recognition. The application must be in the form prescribed by the ASC and must include all necessary evidence to demonstrate satisfaction of the recognition criteria.

After receiving the application, the ASC will contact the applicant organisation to outline the process for assessing the application. If further information is required, the ASC will liaise directly with the applicant organisation’s designated contact.

All evidence must be submitted electronically as advised by the ASC.

Application for renewal of recognition status

Three months prior to the end of the recognition period specified in recognition agreements, the ASC will notify currently recognised NSO/NSODs of the need to reapply for recognition.

Currently recognised NSOs/NSODs will be asked by the ASC to provide evidence for the renewal of their recognition status. The ASC may exercise discretion to assist currently recognised NSO/NSODs in completing their application for renewal.
