What if I don't receive the activation email?

I am a Contact Officer for my organisation, but I cannot see an 'Organisation administration' tab when I log into the Registration Centre.
When you log into Registration Centre, if you see your tabs, but they are aligned vertically down the page, rather than horizontally across the page an error has occurred. In some cases, Internet Explorer (IE) 8 reverts back to the Internet Explorer 7 engine. These are instructions to turn off IE7, so that IE8 is running as IE8:
- If you can't see a menu bar in Internet Explorer (File, Edit, etc.), enable it by right clicking on some empty space in the tab bar and ticking Menu Bar.
- In the menu bar, go to the Tools menu and click on Compatibility View Settings.
- Untick the 'Display intranet sites in Compatibility View' tickbox.
- If the problem still persists (you still do not see an 'Organisation administration' tab), contact the ABS at microdata.access@abs.gov.au and an ABS staff member will assist you.
