The Department of Families, Fairness and Housing (DFFH) and the Department of Health (DH) are moving users from the e-Business system to a new system called AppConnect.

This change will:

  • Help keep information safer
  • Make it easier to manage access.

Who this affects

This change applies to: 

  • Organisations
  • Staff who use the L17 Family Violence Portal. 

When will this happen? 

The move to AppConnect will start in May 2026 and roll out in stages over time. 

What you need to know 

April 2026 

  • You will see a new “Login with Microsoft” button on the login page.
  • Do not use this button yet. It is only for testing with a small group.

From May 2026 

  • You will be told when to start using the new login.
  • You will get a Microsoft account sent to your email.
  • You will need to use Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) on your phone to log in. 

During the change 

Some users may need to use both systems for a while: 

  • e-Business
  • AppConnect

We will keep you informed as the change happens.
