You need to complete the ADT membership letter and fax or post it to the ADT coordinator at the CAUL secretariat.
All details are in the letter.
The only obligations are that all participants fully support and implement the few critical standards that are fundamental to the creation of the national distributed database. Details of standards are available on the ADT Information Page . The initial contact is Diane Costello at the CAUL Secretariat in Canberra. After the initial 3 hours extra support will be at cost. All documentation is available on the ADT homepage .
