• Filtering of the search results – Filters are now available to refine the search results and see more specific information e.g. by state or territory, to see a licence or registration in your home state or territory.
• Easier search – A more intuitive experience, making it easier to interact with us and check the person or organisation you are dealing with is licensed or registered.
• Modern look and feel – A visually appealing and more user-friendly interface.
