My application isn’t displaying the latest saved information

If you find that the information relating to your applications appears incorrect your computer may be recalling or ‘caching’ earlier versions of those pages.

Some of the problems that can result from this caching issue include:

• Information you have entered on your form is not displaying
• Forms section displays as ‘Incomplete’ even when it has been completed
• Documentation you have added is not displaying on the Supporting Docs screen
• My Applications list is not showing an accurate list of your applications
• You receive a 'Not Ready' message when trying to submit the application, even though all sections are 'complete'

If you are affected by any of these issues, you should delete your cache and temporary internet files. Read the instructions below to find out how to do this on a range of web browsers.
