Safe Ministry Training – Support

We are committed to helping resolve any problems you may have using this site or the training courses.
This page provides some general advice that may help, and a link (below) to our support system where you can lodge a support ticket detailing the problem.

Please note that if you not familiar with using the internet or uncomfortable with using it, your first action should be to contact the Online Assistant in your church (if you are part of a Sydney Anglican church). Your Senior Minister will be able to tell you who that is.

If you do submit a support ticket, we will endeavour to respond to your problem within one business day.

Some common issues:

Logging In

  • Logging in

    • The log in page is here: https://safeministry.training.login
    • In order to log in, you first need to register here: https://safeministry.training/register
    • Once you have registered you can log in using the email address and password that you set up at registration.
    • Make sure that your email address and password are entered correctly. They are case sensitive, and a common problem occurs when copying and pasting email addresses and passwords, where a space is added to the end.

  • I can't login!

    • If your attempts to log in are unsuccessful, don’t keep trying! If you have six unsuccessful attempts close together, the system will lock you out for a period of time.
    • If you are not sure of your password, use the ‘lost your password?’ link on the log in page. This will send you a special password rest link to your email address. Click on this link within 30 minutes to reset your password. If the click doesn’t seem to work, try copying and pasting it into the address bar of your browser.

Registering and Buying Access/Enrolling
