About the free registration sessions

Shine is partnering with local organisations to deliver free registration sessions across the Northern Territory. This page will be regularly updated with upcoming locations.

The registration session is to help you and your family register in person for the NT Stolen Wages class action settlement.

You can also come along to check if you have already registered or need to provide any further information or documents.

To be considered for compensation money from the class action settlement, you must register before 31 August 2025.

What do you need to bring?

Photo ID (e.g. Driver's Licence, Photo Card, Proof of Age Card, Working with Children Card) 
If you do not have photo ID, please bring two other forms of ID (e.g. birth certificate, Medicare card, concession card, healthcare card, bank card (key card)
Your bank account details (for registration purposes only. No payments will be made during these sessions).
