The Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry is undertaking a re-platforming of Micor to a new GovCMS platform.
The migration will deliver a modernised platform while maintaining the existing content, navigation structure and website address relied on by exporters, authorised officers and other stakeholders. Most users will experience only minor changes to the user interface when accessing the new platform.
Following go-live, help resources including user guides and instructional videos will be available on the Micor Help page.
Industry responsibilities

- Avoid relying on access to Micor during the outage window and plan business activities accordingly.
- Recreate any saved bookmarks to specific country or case pages following go-live.
- Review the attached project information summary and FAQs.
- Share this information with relevant personnel within their organisation.

Users who currently access password-protected content will need to:
- reset their Micor password following go-live.
- set up Two-Factor Authentication (TFA) in accordance with the new platform requirements.
