How to complete your builder application

You can log in to BPC using your Service Victoria account. If you don't have a Service Victoria account, we'll help you create one.

BPC partnered with Service Victoria to make it simpler and faster for you to log in and to make it easier to verify your identity.

1. Click on  'Create an account', on the Log in to BPC page.
2. Enter your contact details. We will use these details to match your new account with your existing BPC registrations. Please enter the same details used when working with the BPC  in the past.

If you don't have a Service Victoria account?

If your email address doesn't match a Service Victoria account, Service Victoria will need to confirm your contact details. Service Victoria will send security codes to your email address and mobile phone number. Follow the instructions on the screen and enter the security codes when you're asked.

After you've confirmed your contact details, you'll need to create a password for your new Service Victoria account. Make sure it's a unique and secure password.

If you already have a Service Victoria account?

If your email address matches a Service Victoria account, you'll need to log in to your Service Victoria account to continue.

If you already have a BPC account?

If you have previously created a BPC account, you'll need to log in to that account to continue. If you've forgotten your password, follow the instructions on the Service Victoria Log in screen to reset your password.
