CDF Online Changes
CDF is introducing significant changes to the CDF Online website, which will greatly improve the look and functionality of CDF Online, and provide an improved experience for users.
The changes outlined herein will be effective from Thursday, 12th December 2024.
Specifically, these changes will include:
• A redesign of the website, to provide a fresh and contemporary look;
• The ability to use CDF Online on a mobile device with full functionality/ease of use;
• Improved transaction search functionality
In the early months of 2025, additional functionality will be added:
• Introduction of two factor authentication;
• Self-serve functionality for forgotten password;
• Secure messaging (to CDF) within CDF Online.
Your current logon details will not be affected by the above changes.
However, the new CDF Online website will have a different URL/site address, which will be advised closer to the launch date of Thursday, 12th December 2024.
Please telephone CDF on 8210 8215, or email cdf@adelaide.catholic.org.au, with any questions you may have.
