Government forms shouldn't be this hard.
The real, verified Australian government forms you need, in one app — 2,700+ across federal, state and council, and every single one has been checked against its official source. Tell us your situation; we surface the ones that apply and remind you before deadlines.
Built for real Aussies
If government forms make you want to scream, you're not alone.
We rebuilt the find-and-fill experience for the people getting the rough end of the pineapple.
Tradies & FIFO
ABN, super, BAS, white card, NHVR, ticket renewals — the paperwork eats your weekend.
FormFinder fix: Photograph a ticket, FormFinder pushes you when it's near expiry. Bundle packs ready for FIFO onboarding.
Parents & carers
Centrelink, Medicare, NDIS, school enrolments, separation — different portals, same questions.
FormFinder fix: Eligibility quiz across 8 major life categories. One wallet for every document with expiry alerts.
Migrants & new arrivals
Forms in English-only legalese, unclear which agency does what, fear of getting it wrong.
FormFinder fix: 11 languages (BETA). Translate any form description on demand. Plain-English explainers on every field.
Walk in prepared
Understand the letter. Check your odds. Then lodge.
Two things FormFinder does that nothing else does — before you fill in a single field.
Decode My Letter
Got a government letter you don't understand? Photograph it. FormFinder explains what it's actually asking, what it means for you, and which form you need next — in plain English. Free.
Approval Check
Before you lodge, see your likely eligibility, the documents you'll need, and the common rejection traps — built on verified, per-form rule data. Free on the flagship forms and every Mental Health & Support form; Premium unlocks it on every form.
verified Australian government forms
Federal, state, and council. We add new ones every week.
Features
What FormFinder actually does.
Live on Google Play now. Tier badges show what's free and what a paid tier adds on top.
Describe your situation. Get the right verified form.
Type what's going on — "I'm having a baby", "my landlord won't return my bond" — and FormFinder matches you to the verified form. If we don't have a verified form for your situation yet, we say so plainly and flag it for our team to add — never a guess at the closest thing.
- Plain English in, official forms out
- Every link verified to the live agency form — federal, state, council
- Honest about gaps — we tell you when we don't have it yet, not the closest miss
Got a letter you don't understand? Point your phone at it.
Photograph a confusing government letter and FormFinder tells you — in plain English — what it actually means and what to do next, then points you to the exact form you need. Free, no account.
- Works on any government letter — Centrelink, ATO, council, court
- Plain-English explanation, then the exact next step
- The photo is read on your phone — only the text is sent to explain it, and it isn't stored
See whether you'll actually be approved — before you lodge.
Approval Check shows whether you're likely eligible, exactly what to bring, and the things that get people rejected — built on verified, per-form rule data with the official source linked so you can check it yourself.
- Must-pass eligibility gates — and what it means if you don't meet one
- "What you'll need" documents, plus the traps that get claims knocked back
- Free on flagship forms + every Mental Health & Support form — Premium unlocks every form
A few questions. Hundreds of forms eliminated.
The eligibility quiz cuts the haystack down to forms you actually qualify for — NDIS, family law, workers comp, harm reduction, eight major life categories.
- 8 life-category quizzes
- Stops before you waste 20 minutes filling
- No login required
Every form, with the stuff the form itself never tells you.
Open any form's detail page and you get the official link, fee breakdown, required documents, what-happens-next timeline, a checklist, and one-tap shortcuts to share, save, or set a deadline.
- Verified links — opens the live, current form on the agency's own site
- Photo tools sheet for field help + paper-form pre-fill
- Save + remind side-by-side
JPs, Legal Aid, financial counsellors — near you, on a map.
Council Finder plots free local services around your pin: Justices of the Peace, Legal Aid offices, financial counsellors, tenancy advocates, translators. Tap any pin for hours, phone, and one-tap directions.
- Filter by service type
- Distance-sorted list
- Auto-dark theme matches your phone
Report a council issue. We chase it up when they ignore you.
Take a photo of the pothole, fly-tipping or broken streetlight — FormFinder geotags it and drafts a properly-structured email to your local council. On Pro, we keep going if the council ignores you: 30-day no-response triggers one-tap shortcuts to a councillor letter, Ombudsman complaint, FOI request, or VCAT lodgement.
- Free tier covers 3 reports/month (basic)
- Up to 5 photos per report on Premium
- Pro escalates the 30-day silent council to councillor / Ombudsman / FOI / VCAT
Then FormFinder drafts the email in the council's tone.
Write two words — "pothole, dangerous" — and Premium turns it into a properly-structured council email: your photos referenced, the location pinned, severity tagged, written in the tone councils actually respond to. You review, edit, and one-tap send.
- Severity auto-tagged
- Plain English, council-appropriate tone
- Editable before send
Your IDs, on your device only — and locked behind your fingerprint.
Passport, driver licence, Medicare, NDIS plan, white card — stored encrypted on your phone, never uploaded to our servers. Your Wallet won't open without your fingerprint or device passcode. 30 / 7 / 1 day expiry alerts so renewals don't sneak up on you.
- Stays on your device — your IDs and photos never touch our servers
- Sensitive numbers held in the OS secure store (Android Keystore / iOS Keychain)
- Unlocked with your fingerprint or device passcode — never without it
- So private your phone won't even screenshot it — the Wallet blocks OS screen capture
- Bulk PDF export on Pro
Draft a dispute letter without learning legalese.
NCAT, AFCA, Fair Work, real estate, debt collector, tenancy, employer — ready-to-go templates. You fill the blanks; FormFinder handles the legalese.
- Seven jurisdictions covered out of the box
- Plain-English explainers per field
- Editable before you send
"Built in Australia by Aussies who got fed up with Service NSW."
Real reviews coming after launch. Until then — that's just us, talking about us.
