  • A MASS-eApply Organisation is a single user or group, of prescribers or suppliers and administration staff who work together, such as a department in a hospital or a private provider’s practice.

    As part of your registration you can create or join an existing organisation. Organisations on MASS-eApply can contain an individual or group of prescribers or suppliers and administration staff who work together, such as a department in a hospital or a private practice. Organisations should be registered at the local/ward level to remain manageable for the users. All users should create their own user account to join the organisation.

    As a member of an organisation, you can view and complete applications as a team. This allows handover during employee absences and for different team members to complete a form, for example, an administration staff member can start the application and complete the applicant’s personal details and the application can then be completed and submitted by a clinician.

    Note:

    • An organisation can consist of only one person.
    • There is no limit to how many users can be added to an organisation.
    • A unit or a ward have more than one organisation associated with it, for example a Rehabilitation Unit could create an organisation for Mobility Equipment prescribers and another organisation for Continence Product prescribers.
    • Do make distinctive organisation names so that new users can select the right one.
    • Submission of the application must be done via the user account of a recognised MASS prescriber, e.g. a physiotherapist.
    • If you need to update/change the name of your organisation, contact the MASS-eApply team.  Changes to other details such as the phone number will change when users submit new applications.
  • An organisation administrator, is also known as the "approver", "super-user" or "local administrator".

    • By default the first person to register for an organisation will become the administrator, the administrator will approve new users into the organisation. While the organisation administrator can be changed by MASS it’s easier to select who will be the administrator and have them register first.
    • You can have multiple administrators in the group.
    • If the organisation administrator does not verify their account within 30 days, the organisation may be closed and treated as abandoned.
    • The organisation administrator does not have access to unlock accounts, reset other user's passwords or provide technical support.
  • Contact MASS-eApply to re-assign the role to another registered user.

  • Processing a Registration Request:

    New users will need to complete a registration form on https://forms.health.qld.gov.au/#/vault.

    Once they've submitted their registration, the organisation administrator selected in the registration form will receive an email subjected "[Their name] wishes to join your organisation" with a copy of their registration form.

    If you are the organisation administrator:

    1. Log in to MASS-eApply
    2. Navigate to the dashboard
    3. Your dashboard will have a reference to the pending application under “Assigned to Me”.
    4. Click on the registration application ID to open the form.
    5. Check their details are accurate and that the person does work in your organisation.
    6. You are able to correct/update any details as required.
    7. Use the "next" buttons to navigate through the pages.
    8. Choose "Approve" or "Reject"
    9. If you are rejecting the application, it will allow you select a reason.
    10. Click apply changes to confirm the approval or rejection.
    11. They will then receive a confirmation email, and an email to set up their password.

    To add, change or remove the organisation administrator:

    Contact the MASS-eApply team. The new administrator will need to register an account first so the role can be reassigned to them.

  • This is most likely due to your administrator being absent, no longer employed there or they haven’t gotten around to approving it.

    The MASS-eApply team can verify the administrator for you to contact and change the role if the person is no longer at your organisation.

  • This can be due to:

    • The item might be named differently
    • It may not be part of the SOA or it is listed under a different category - check other drop-down menus for equipment items or the SOA lists for details.
    • Option may not be selected
    • It may not be allowable under the guidelines

    Please contact the service area to confirm the details.

  • Clicking tick-boxes and logging in using your unique credentials are legally acceptable proof of identity/consent.

  • It is advisable to use the applicant search as the applicant may have a record already via another MASS service area. Searching will look across all MASS services - it may take a moment as it cross references 500,000+ applicant records in the MASS database. The search works by entering the below details and matching against our applicant records:

    • Applicant's name
    • Date of birth (Entered DD/MM/YYYY)
    • MASS Client Reference Number (B Number) OR Concession card type
    • Applicant’s MASS Reference Number (B number) OR Concession card number

    The applicant search retrieves the applicant's personal  such as their address and contact details. The preloaded details will not include a applicant's application history or eligibility information. Depending on the form you may be asked for additional information regarding the applicant’s assistive technology funding and living situation e.g. Home Care Packages.

    • For Centrelink numbers, please do not include “CRN” at the start.
    • For MASS Client Reference Number (B number) please ensure you enter the “B” at the start. Note:
    • If you do not search, or the applicant has no previous record with MASS you will need to manually enter the applicant's details.
    • A successful applicant search does not guarantee applicant eligibility to all MASS services.

    If the applicant has received MASS services in the past, but aren't coming up, this is most likely due to:

    • Incorrect data was previously provided to MASS
    • Incorrect data was entered into the MASS database
    • The applicant has changed their name since the last application
    • The applicant has changed concession card type since their last application. Please note applicants may use different eligibility cards in other service areas
    • The applicant search has timed out, try again later or a different browser.

    You can troubleshoot this by:

    • Try different concession card details
    • Try using the applicant’s unique reference number (URN/B number)
    • If the applicant's name is hyphenated, try removing the hyphen or using a space
    • Contact the contact the service area directly.
  • Yes, you can use an applicant's MASS client reference number (b number) to search.  In the applicant search enter:

    1. Applicant's family name
    2. Date of birth (Entered DD/MM/YYYY)
    3. In card type select "MASS Client Number (B Number)
    4. In card number: enter the applicant's b number e.g. B999999.
  • Yes. The details should be verified as being current and correct.

    Note: if you pulled the wrong client in the applicant search, you will need to start a new application as the application has been linked to the MASS record you loaded. Please do not overwrite the incorrect applicant’s details to match the correct applicant's details. Please contact the MASS-eApply team with the application number to have the application deleted.

  • You will need to start a new application as the application has been linked to the MASS record you loaded. Please do not overwrite the incorrect applicant’s details to match the correct applicant's details.

    Please contact the MASS-eApply team with the application number to have the application deleted.

  • MASS-eApply has permission to use Services Australia's (Previously known as the Department of Human Affairs) Centrelink Confirmation eServices (CCeS). CCes has strict controls and protocols for accessing applicant data.

    The card holder (applicant, or if the applicant is a child, their parent/guardian) or their representative will need to confirm their consent for CCeS to verify eligibility. This consent will be used for the sole purpose of authorising Services Australia to provide information to MASS to determine their eligibility in relation to assistance or services provided by MASS.

    This agreement can be made by having the applicant read the statement on the screen (or a printout) and clicking to consent with mouse themselves or agreeing verbally. Alternatively, the applicant can have the statement read to them and agree verbally. In both cases the wording should not be changed.

    The consent can be provided by:

    • The card holder (the customer) e.g. applicant or the applicant's parent/guardian.
    • Their customer representative.  A customer representative is a person who is authorised by the customer, or by law, to represent the customer or manage the customer’s affairs. Customer representatives can include nominees, authorised representatives and powers of attorney.

    Confirmation of Centrelink eligibility is a requirement of MASS funding, the application cannot proceed.

    If consent cannot be provided, another concession card may be used (if applicable).

    For troubleshooting error messages - refer to the MASS-eApply Help Page.

  • No, the application will have to wait as MASS cannot process the application until the applicant is proved to eligible. The applicant will need to use a different concession card (if applicable).

    The MASS84 is incorporated into the MASS-eApply application forms. Applications for children and applications with Queensland Government Seniors cards have an option to attach a copy of the card.

    If the applicant doesn't not consent to having a Centrelink check completed and has no other eligible card types, the application cannot proceed.

  • Applications cannot be changed or deleted after submission due to auditing requirements.

    You will need to contact the service area directly with the application number to explain the error, or cancel the application.

    Please note you may be required to complete new application.

  • Yes, we have the below available information sheets and tutorials:

    MASS Clinical Education also provides regular webinars.

  • If your browser has a security error, this can be caused by your browser firewall blocking the website, you will need to contact your own IT support to resolve this.

    If the form is being slow or things aren't loading, this can be caused by internet connection or browser. Try using a different browser. Please note, Internet Explorer has been phased out by Microsoft and is no longer being supported.

    For support with form questions and error messages, refer to the MASS-eApply help page for trouble shooting guide.

    If you can, take a screenshot of the error and send it to the MASS-eApply team via email.  You can note what it says if a screenshot isn’t possible. To assist us please outline what you were doing when the error happened and where in the form it appeared. It’s also helpful to say what your browser and operating system is.
