Transgrid’s prequalification and worker authorisation process is completed in two parts: business registration, and worker registration, including induction bookings.
You should only follow the compliance process if you have been requested to do so by Transgrid, and you should only select the project or site you have been asked to register for.
Video and document user guides can be found from the Help and Resources page.
