Do you have an existing matter?

Your account will be linked to your existing Court/SAT matter(s), allowing you to access eCourts Portal services, including:

Lodge documents on your matters (where available)

What is a "matter number"?

The matter number is a reference number that appears on your court/SAT documents.

Depending on the jurisdiction, it may be labelled as:

Case number
File number
Matter number
Charge number

What is a Person ID / Organisation ID / Party ID?

This number is unique to you (or your organisation).

If the document includes this number, it may appear beside your name and other personal details.

NOTE: Your Person/Organisation/Party ID does not appear on all your court/SAT documents.

If you cannot locate your Person/Organisation/Party ID on any document issued to you, contact the registry that issued the document

What if I have multiple matters?

If you have multiple matters, you should register using the matter that is most relevant to you at this time.

When you log in to your new account, you may find that some/all of your other matters are already linked.
If any of your other matters are not linked, contact the relevant registry for assistance.

Where do I find the matter number?

See the below examples of common court documents, highlighting the matter details & Party ID (if applicable), and where to enter these details on the Matter Details page
