Student Unique Identifier (USI)

Do you have an USI

A Unique Student Identifier (USI) is a personal reference number issued by the Australian Government to all students undertaking nationally recognised training. It links to your online academic record that contains a student's training records and results. Here’s what it means for you as a student:

Unique ID: Your USI is a unique 10-character code made up of numbers and letters.
Permanent Record: It acts as a lifetime education record, tracking your training and qualifications across different institutions and throughout your career.
Access to Results: Your USI allows you to view and share your training records and results with future training providers or employers.

Having a USI is mandatory for all students in vocational education and training (VET) and higher education in Australia, ensuring your achievements are recognised nationwide and making it easier for you to access your academic records whenever you need them. You can watch a short video on what a USI is by clicking here

To enter your learning platform, you must first submit a valid USI.

1. Yes, I have my USI handy.

Great! You are ready to get started on your learning journey. Please enter your USI below.

2. I don’t have a USI and would like to apply for one now

Applying for a Unique Student Identifier (USI) is simple and can be done online in just a few steps.

Visit the USI Website: Go to the USI website.
Select "Create Your USI": Click on the option to create your USI
Provide Personal Details: Enter your personal information, including your name, date of birth, and contact details.
Provide ID: Choose one of the listed forms of identification, such as your passport, driver's license, or Medicare card. Enter the details from this ID.
Receive Your USI: You’ll get your USI instantly on the screen. Write it down, and log it here in your learning portal. Once you enter it, your access will be granted.

You can also receive it by email or SMS if you provided contact details. Keep your USI handy, as you’ll need it for your studies and to access your training records when you log back in. If you ever forget your USI, you can recover it from the USI website.

3. No, I will enter my USI later.

You can enter your USI later however without a valid USI you will not be able to commence your studies and the terms and condition of your enrolment will remain the same. We encourage all learners to get started as soon as possible.

If you need support with any of the steps above, please don’t hesitate to contact our student support team.
