Migrating to TCSI

There are four broad phases that providers will need to progress through to successfully complete the migration to TCSI reporting. The four phases are summarised below and explained in further detail in subsequent articles.

1. PRODA Account Registration

The word PRODA is an acronym for Provider Digital Access, a system used to securely access multiple online Government services, including for the purposes of submitting information as part of TCSI. In order to submit data via TCSI providers must hold a valid PRODA account, register a new B2B device key and shared these credentials with Silverband.

Warning

NOTE

When a director in PRODA leaves your organisation without assigning a new director, a member looking to assume the director role for PRODA must:

  • Be registered for an individual PRODA account

    Ensure they are an Associate or Authorised contact for the organisation on the Australian Business Register (ABR)

    And ensure their individual PRODA account name matches their name as recorded on the ABR.

Unfortunately, the TCSI team is unable to access PRODA account details.

You should contact PRODA to assist with this:

We suggest that you have more than one director/delegate for your PRODA organisation to help resolve user access issues. Please see the following FAQ page https://www.tcsisupport.gov.au/support/proda and our PRODA Account Registration guide for further information.

2. Preparing Paradigm for TCSI reporting

...

Providers reaching this step are now ready to start submitting real student records to the government via TCSI. Note that once a provider starts submitting data via TCSI then they are prevented from making further submissions via HEPCAT.
