Access Canberra supports and connects the community with ACT Government services. Its aim is to promote good governance and provide great service, with a particular focus on helping local entrepreneurs understand and comply with the regulations needed to establish a new business or hold an event, while ensuring at all times that public safety is maintained.

Access Canberra is at the forefront of the Government's program of regulatory reform and helps drive red tape reduction.

It brings together shopfronts, call handling, online services and regulatory arms (including business licencing, event approvals and births deaths & marriages) into a single service. Pulling these functions together across government for the first time is a significant reform in municipal services for the people of Canberra.

The Access Canberra website provides a gateway to services provided by the ACT Government - what they are, how much they cost, where to pay for them and who to contact for further information. The site includes ACT Government forms and a secure bill payment portal that allows you to pay many different ACT Government bills and services.
