Introduction
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. As a system, PRODA is used by many different types of industries, each having reason to interact with one or more Australian Government systems.
Once you, as the provider, have received your PRODA account details, you will need to create a B2B device key and then share it with Silverband via the Silverband Help-desk Portal. The Silverband support team will then install your B2B key and confirm that it is able to successfully authenticate with PRODA. Once this confirmation has been shared your institution is one step closer to being TCSI compliant.
Workflow Steps
Complete PRODA registration
Register a new B2B device key
Submit PRODA credentials to Silverband
1. Complete PRODA registration
There are three phases in the registration process and the Government describes in greater detail on the TCSI transition page of the HEIMS HELP web-site. Any issues or questions relating to the PRODA registration phases should be referred to the Department of Education.
2. Register a new B2B device key
The generation of B2B device keys is a task performed from within the PRODA portal. When creating the B2B device key, we recommend assigning a name that clearly states the intended purpose of the key, for example “Paradigm” or “ParadigmEMS”.
Perform the following steps from within the PRODA portal:
Locate your Organisation Name. Our test one is: dc-strata-api-4y396
Locate your PRODA RA (Organisation) our test one is: 1659703992
Begin the process to ‘Register a new B2B device’.
