How do I share cases or delegate work to a colleague?

If you are a legal practitioner or an authorised officer, you can delegate another Online Registry user to manage or access cases on your behalf. 

What you need to know

A delegate (e.g. paralegal or secretary) can be assigned to act on behalf of a legal practitioner or authorised officer as follows: 

  • Multiple delegates can be assigned to act on behalf of one legal practitioner or authorised officer. 
  • One delegate can act on behalf of multiple legal practitioners or authorised officers. 

To receive email notifications when a delegate files a form on your behalf, ensure you have selected to receive email notifications of online filings via your Online Registry Profile.
