ImmiAccount auto-fill, from your client's own answers
LodgeHQ eLodge is a Chrome extension that fills ImmiAccount application forms from the questionnaire your client has already completed, one page at a time. You check each page, and you are the one who submits.

What it fills
Identity, contact, passport and visa-history fields across a wide range of subclasses, including 482, 485, 186, 820/801, 309/100, 300, 417/462, 500, 600, 866, 189, 190, 491, 191 and 407. It also fills citizenship applications, employer nominations for the 482, 494 and 186, the 407 training nomination and the Form 80 character questions.
On ImmiAccount it works through the repeating sections as well, adding and confirming each row of address history, travel, employment and family members from the answers on file.
Where the answers come from
The extension fills from the matter you select: that client's submitted questionnaire, the matter's own details, the employer's details on sponsored matters, and your agent profile for the authorised-recipient page. It fills only from the matter you have selected.
After each page it reports what it filled. Where the file holds no answer for a field, the field is left for you.
What stays in your hands
You sign in to ImmiAccount yourself. The extension never sees, asks for or stores your portal password, a CAPTCHA answer or your multi-factor code. It fills the page that is open in your browser when you press Fill Current Page, and nothing else.
It does not click Next, it does not upload documents, it does not pay the visa application charge and it never submits. Every page is yours to review before you move on.
How much of a form it covers
Coverage depends on the form and on how complete the questionnaire is. On a well-completed questionnaire it fills most of the fields on a page. What remains is usually a field the Department reveals only after another answer, or a document upload.
Four portals, one extension
The same extension fills forms on each of these sites, and on no others.

Good to know
The conditions and limits, so you find them here and not after you have signed up.
- It runs in Chrome, or another Chromium browser that installs extensions from the Chrome Web Store.
- It needs an active LodgeHQ trial or subscription, and it fills from a questionnaire the client has submitted.
- On ImmiAccount it also answers the consent, declaration and statutory-declaration questions on a page, and it answers them Yes. Read every one of those pages yourself before you advance: those answers are given in your client's name and lodged under yours.
- Documents are uploaded by you, and the application is paid for and submitted by you.
ImmiAccount auto-fill: questions agents ask
Does the extension sign in to ImmiAccount for me?
Not for filling forms. You sign in yourself, and the extension only fills the page you have open. VEVO checks are a separate feature, where you can choose to save your organisation ImmiAccount login so the check can sign in for you.
Does it submit the application?
No. It fills the page in front of you. You review it, you click Next, you upload the documents, and you pay and submit.
Which visa subclasses does it cover?
A wide range, including 482, 485, 186, 820/801, 309/100, 300, 417/462, 500, 600, 866, 189, 190, 491, 191 and 407, as well as citizenship applications and employer nominations. Coverage varies by form and by how complete the client's questionnaire is.
Does it work outside ImmiAccount?
Yes. The same extension fills SkillSelect Expressions of Interest for the 189, 190 and 491, VETASSESS skills assessment applications and the AFP National Police Check application.
Which browsers does it support?
Chrome, and Chromium browsers that can install extensions from the Chrome Web Store. LodgeHQ itself runs in any current browser.
