The easiest place to find information is to jump into the Help Centre's step-by-step instructions (including searchable Census error codes and queries).
The Help Centre can be used by anyone who uses the Arbor MIS, whether you're partner supported or Arbor supported. You don't need to be signed in.

If you can't find what you're looking for using webchat, you can then begin chatting with a member of our Support Team. Click here for more help, including FAQs on sending links and screenshots: Using Webchat
If you’re on Advanced Support, please instead book a call following your standard Advanced Support booked call process.
Contact Us form
Click Contact Us in the top right of our Help Centre, or the I'm still stuck! button at the bottom of an article.
- Select the relevant option (for example if you need to report a bug). This will send an email to our standard Support Team or your Advanced Support expert depending on the support package your school has purchased.
- Get in touch with our Finance team by selecting I have a query about my MIS Invoice.
- Get in touch about moving to Arbor by selecting Onboarding, migration and moving to Arbor.
In the form, provide us with as much information as you can including relevant links or screenshots where possible. This will ensure we can investigate thoroughly for you without having to email back for more information which can delay a resolution. For example, if a staff member is having login issues, please provide their name.
This will then come through to our teams as an email.
You'll then get a notification that your question has been submitted, and you'll hear back from us soon. You can see how to track your requests here: How can I view my open requests with the Support Team?
Some of our other teams can only be contacted via direct email. Please note that these teams will not be able to provide support for using the MIS.
