Titles Management System
Titles Management System (TMS)
TMS is the preferred way to complete your applications for authorisations online.
Access the Titles Management System
The Titles Management System (TMS) is the NSW Government’s fit-for-purpose platform for industry, to support the end-to-end management of exploration and mining titles with increased transparency and accountability.
The TMS user dashboard offers a user the ability for real-time multi-stage status tracking of their lodged applications. Users can also pay application and pre-grant fees via a secure payment portal, attach documents post lodgement, view correspondence and receive system notifications. The profile management functionality delivers a collective portfolio view of applications, through company associations (using a bi-level user hierarchy) and affiliations (linking parent companies with subsidiaries) between authorised TMS user accounts.
