Request a user account and access training for content.vic.gov.au

Learn about and access the content management system for vic.gov.au and other Single Digital Presence websites.

Single Digital Presence (SDP) operates on a distributed authoring model.

This means content owners (Editors) update their own information using the content management system (CMS).

The CMS is built using an open-source software platform, Drupal. It's managed by the Department of Government Services through the SDP program.


How to request Editor access

1. Confirm your content is included in the SDP CMS

Check whether your website or site section is included in the content.vic.gov.au CMS or is an independent site.

If your website is included in the content.vic.gov.au CMS, request an account:

Submit a content.vic.gov.au CMS user request

We create your account within 24 hours.

You will be emailed a link that will allow you to access your CMS user account and set up a secure password.

If your website is independent, contact your department's publishing team.

2. Complete the training activities

You will receive an email which asks you to review and update a training page in the CMS. Each activity will include instructions to help you complete each task.

At the end of the training, you will:

  • understand your digital accessibility requirements
  • know how to apply the correct heading sizes
  • know when and how to create internal and external hyperlinks.

3. Attend the welcome to SDP webinar

We will invite you to this webinar once your CMS account is created and you have been added to the Microsoft Teams Single Digital Presence community.
