Government online CAF

The Government are releasing an electronic version of the Commonwealth Assistance Form (eCAF). This is required for VET FEE HELP providers and is scheduled for release in Jan 2017.

There are API's that link to the eCAF. At the moment axcelerate said that they don't have any plans of supporting the new eCAF but have suggested that I put this in the ideas forum to see if anyone else in the community is interested in supporting this.

By using the API's, I believe we should be able to provide the student with access to the eCAF, and have the TFN automatically updated directly via axcelerate.

Would this be of benefit to anyone else?

    Hi All,

    I have discussed an eCAF integration with our Product Manager this morning.

    We are going to investigate this integration as part of our upcoming development cycle (two weeks) starting on Monday, March 18th. Once the investigation is complete I will update you again with our intentions.

    I will, however, be closing this thread for comments and continuing the conversation in another related post https://axcelerate.zendesk.com/hc/en-gb/community/posts/360001923155-ECAF-Progressions 

    Thank you all for your comments.

    Kind regards,
    Rod.

    Hi Calvin,

    Having access to eCAF via aXcelerate is definitely of interest to us (as long as there is no cost to us!)

    Regards,

    Hi Calvin,

     

    I've also made the same request, and would imagine that this would be of interest to all VSL providers.

    Absolutely, I think that this should definitely be considered.

    Hi

    New to aXcelerate

    Absolutely need this ECAF integration.

    I sent email to Nicole on friday and no one had heard of it. Nicole suggested to put it on the forum. Noticed it is already here. 

    Can I check with the more experienced with this software.....do we just create a CSV form/ report matching the governments sample or is this also a back end/coding requirement. Thanks Karen

    This would certainly be of benefit for us and we would like to have this option available to us.

    We're 10 months into VSL and the eCAF and there seems to be some substantial support for an integration. Are we able to get an update from axcelerate as to whether there are any plans for this development and a possible ETA?

    Wisenet has an integration with the eCAF portal to send both the eCAF's and the progression forms:

    Absolutely! It is administratively time consuming having to manually enter all the data into eCAF system when it could be extracted straight from aXcelerate. Most other SMS programs accommodate for this.

    Is there any update of where the team is at with this?

    Hi all, this enhancement has not yet made it onto our development plan, but we will continue to watch this discussion closely. If I can please also remind everyone to "vote up" the ideas that you want to see added to aXcelerate with the up arrow next to the original post, this ensures that this idea gets the prominence it deserves against competing ideas.

    The original post is 3yrs old. This is a basic function that most other SMS's offer. We've started looking at swapping SMS as others are integrated to create eCAF's and automatically issue progression eCAF's within their system.
