The application process
For best results, complete the process in one sitting.

Applications will not progress if a category is not selected. Complete the Student Details followed by the Criteria Questions. Please read the directions carefully before answering the questions. Press Submit at the end of the form.
- You will receive an email containing a link to Stage 2, the Criteria Form. Selected information from the eligibility form will already be on this form. Complete the form, attaching any documents requested and submit.
- You will now receive another email with a link to Application Part A and B. Please enter the requested information; attaching documents where requested and once completed submit the form.
- A third email with the link to Stage 4, Enrolment Declaration, will be sent by SIDE staff once the information contained in Stages 1, 2 and 3 have been checked against the attachments. The enrolment declaration needs to be printed, signed, scanned (or photographed) and emailed back.
